Time Section Plots Using NCEP Daily Data

Data Availability
  • Operational data are available from Jan 1, 1979 through 01/13/2009
  • Reanalysis data are available from Jan 1, 1948 through 01/11/2009
    Exceptions for the Reanalysis data are precipitable water, relative humidity, and
    surface pressure which are available only through January 2000.
  • Outgoing Longwave Radiation data are available from June 1, 1974 through Dec 31 2008 .
(Default plot is Time-Longitude along the Equator with no area averaging)

Additional Notes

  • Operational: All mean, anomaly, and climatology plots can be created. Pressure levels available: 1000, 850, 700, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 70, 50.
  • Reanalysis: No climatology for surface relative humidity, therefore no climatology or anomaly plots. All pressure levels plus surface are available.
