ECMWF Gridded Global Analyses 1985-1992

The analyses are uninitialized, meaning that observed data have been assimilated into the ECMWF forecast model but have not been altered by the model's normal mode initialization scheme. The analyses are monthly averages.

All variables are on 14 pressure levels which are in mb: 10, 30, 50, 70, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 700, 850, 1000 The variables currently in the data catalog are: temperature, zonal and meridional velocity and geopotential. In addition there are surface fields of surface pressure, surface geopotential and temperature 2m above the surface. All these are gridded on a 2.5 by 2.5 degree grid.
