Joint U.S. Navy/U.S. Air Force Climatic Study of the Upper Atmosphere. Volume 4. April

Abstract

This study of the upper atmosphere is based on 1980-85 twice daily gridded analysis produced by the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts. Included are global analyses of (1) Mean Temperature/Standard Deviation, (2) Mean Geopotential Height/Standard Deviation, (3) Mean Density/ Standard Deviation, (4) Height and Vector Standard Deviation. All for 13 pressure levels - 1000, 850, 700, 500, 400, 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 70, 50, 30 mb. In addition, analyses of (5) Mean Dew Point/Standard Deviation - levels 1000 through 30 mb, (6) jet stream (mean scalar speed) - levels 500 through 30 mb. Also included are global 5 degree grid point wind roses for the 13 pressure levels.
