Title

CAC Monthly Global Analyses for October 1978 to September 1994

Alternative title(s)

d086000

Abstract

This dataset contains monthly means of several meteorological variables, their squares, and their cross-products for nine levels in the atmosphere. These mean grids were prepared by the Climate Analysis Center (CAC) from NMC daily analyses. The grid is a 2.5 degree grid (145 by 37) for each hemisphere, so that data are available globally.
