Title

Tahnk and Newell Digitized NMC Northern Hemisphere Stratospheric Analyses

Alternative title(s)

d191000

Abstract

The National Meteorological Center (NMC) produced weekly Northern Hemisphere atmospheric analyses from available radiosonde and rocketsonde data at various vertical levels, and on a horizontal latitude/longitude grid with a 10-degree resolution. The grids in this dataset were digitized by interpolating the values from the hand-drawn maps produced by NMC.
