| hasSummary |
-
The Climate Analysis Center (CAC) of the U.S. National
Meteorological Center (NMC) produced gridded analyses of temperature
and wind in the atmosphere by combining the operational tropospheric
analyses from NMC and radiosonde and rocketsonde observations in the
stratosphere. Grids are available at mandatory pressure levels from
1000 mbar up to 0.4 mbar. Additionally, total-column ozone and
longwave radiation are also included. Global coverage is achieved by
combining the grids for the northern and southern hemispheres at
each time step.
The Flattery analysis method was used through 26 July 1984, so the
usefulness of grids in that period is suspect. After that time, the
analysis method used was the same as for other NMC global
operational outputs.
