Time Section Plots Using Gridded Daily Data

Improved time section plots are now available. Users can now average over 0E for time by latitude plots. The old page will still be available here for a period of time. Please let us know if you have any questions, issues, or comments. We are working on providing comparable colortable to the older page.

Data Availability
  • Operational data are available from Jan 1, 1979 through 12/24/2016
  • R1 Reanalysis data are available from Jan 1, 1948 through 12/22/2016
  • 20CR Reanalysis V2 data are available on this page from Jan 1, 1871 through
  • 20CR Reanalysis V2c data are available on this page from Jan 1, 1851 through Dec 31, 2012
  • Outgoing Longwave Radiation data are available from June 1, 1974 through 2013/12/31 .

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.
