Global Climatic Data for Surface, 800 mb, 400 mb: April
Abstract
The April global distributions of pressure, temperature, wind, and moisture have been taken from a variety of climatological sources and formats, for reconstruction at the surface, 800 mb, and 400 mb to facilitate comparison with integrations from the Mintz-Arakawa two-level model. These data are supplemented by presentations of the global distributions of cloudiness, planetary and surface albedo, long-wave radiation, evaporation, precipitation, and selected elements of the surface heat balance. All data are presented on a global grid of 4 degrees latitude by 5 degrees longitude, in the form of both tabulated values and machine-analyzed maps. The corresponding zonal and global averages are also given.
