Abstract:

This dataset of daily gridded analyzed geopotential height and temperature for the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere covers the period from January 1946 to December 1980. The 47 by 51 polar-stereographic grids, centered on the North Pole, were produced by NMC's operational model.

For data beyond 1980, see ds067.0, which provides global coverage of the stratosphere on a pair of 63 by 63 polar-stereographic grids centered on each Pole.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
