Joint U.S. Navy/U.S. Air Force Climatic Study of the Upper Atmosphere. Volume 11. November

Abstract

This joint Navy and Air Force 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 atmospheric temperature standard deviation, (2) mean geopotential height/ standard deviation, (3) mean atmospheric density standard deviation, (4) Height and vector standard deviation. All data is 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 300 mb, (6) Jet streams (mean scalar speed) - levels 500 through 30mb and global 5 degree grid point wind roses for the 13 pressure levels are included.
