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.

Enter EITHER the first date and last date OR the first date and number of days OR the last date and number of days.
First date:(yyyymmdd): to Last date:
and/or enter the number of days to average:
Which variable? Analysis level?

Plot type? Mean   Anomaly   Climatology  

Map Domain: If you wish to select a specific lat/lon region, you must choose Custom from the map domain menu, and complete the lat, lon, and projection selections that immediately follow.

If CUSTOM selected, choose projection:

Lowest lat (-90 to 90) Highest lat (-90 to 90)
Western-most longitude (0 to 360) Eastern-most longitude (0 to 720)
Note: eastern longitude must be greater than western longitude
