FNMOC 181 x 360 Monthly 500 mb Geopotential Height
NOTICE: You may soon notice a change (in appearance only) to these Internet web pages as we upgrade and improve our site in the coming weeks. The data products themselves will of course remain unchanged. Thank you.
Monthly means of the FNMOC (Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center) 6-hourly analyzed geopotential height field on a 360 by 181 global spherical grid (1 degree) can be found on ERD's Live Access Server.
