Abstract:

This dataset contains long-term means of geopotential height, temperature, and wind for the troposphere from 1000mb up to 100mb. Means are computed for the period from 1979 to 1988 and are stored on a global latitude/longitude grid with a resolution of 2.5 degrees.

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.
