Feedback
Feedback (good, bad, suggested enhancements) is always welcome! Mail to esrl.psd at (
esrl.psd.data@noaa.gov
). If you find this page useful for teaching or research, I would especially like to know.
Atmospheric Variables Plotting Page
A similar page that plots a subset of NCAR/NCEP Reanalysis data can be found at
http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/Composites/Day/
.
This form allows you to plot the NCEP daily analysis data and OLR. To plot daily SST, please to go
Daily Composites
or for monthly/seasonal SST, go to
Seasonal Composites
. Data coverage is from
1980
to the present. You have the option of averaging the last
n
days. Climatology is based on a 5 day running mean of the annual cycle (based on 1979-1995). Anomalies are formed by subtracting this daily climatology. Note that no smoothing is done in the case of vector wind anomalies and climatologies.
