Global Gridded Spectral Height and Temperature Fields

This dataset contains once-daily global gridded geopotential height and temperature at levels from 1000 millibars up to 1 millibar for the period from April 1979 to May 1994. Bill Randel of NCAR interpolated bad and missing data in the grids of ds067.1 [rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds067.1/] and stored the new data as zonal Fourier coefficients on an approximate 4.5 degree latitude/longitude grid (consistent with R15 spectral resolution).

Further information can be found in NCAR Technical Note 366, which is available from the UCAR publications office at (303) 497-8601.
