U.S. AFGWC Northern Hemisphere Dew Point and Cloud Analyses

This dataset contains daily grids of dew point depression and cloud coverage for the period September 1963 to April 1972, provided by the U.S. Air Force Global Weather Central (AFGWC). Grids are available twice-daily at 12-hour intervals (00Z and 12Z). Dew point depression is available at four levels (850mb, 700mb, 500mb, and 400mb), as are low, middle, high, and total cloud coverage.
