The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate
Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was initially completed over the
31-year period from 1979 to 2009 and has been extended to March
2011. CFSR was initialized 4 times per day (0000, 0600, 1200, and
1800 UTC), and the 6-hourly atmospheric, oceanic and land surface
analyzed products are available at 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.9, and 2.5
degree horizontal resolutions, along with forecast hours 1 through
6. However, not all parameters are available at all resolutions and
some parameters are not analyzed (e.g. 2 meter temperature, 10 meter
winds), so please consult the detailed metadata for exact
descriptions of what is available.
For more information about CFSR in general, please see this page
[https://rda.ucar.edu/?hash=pub/cfsr.html]. For data that extend
CFSR beyond December 2010, please see the RDA datasets for NCEP's
Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2)
