Stratospheric Analyses

Since CPC has a history of making 12Z stratospheric analyses, the Reanalysis CD-ROMs have 12Z analyses of temperature, geopotential height and even winds!
  • 100 mb T, Z, winds
  • 50 mb T, Z, winds
  • 20 mb T, Z, winds
The monthly mean analyses include
  • 1000-10 mb T, U, V, Z, U'V', U'T', V'T'
  • 1000-100 mb omega, U'omega', T'omega'
  • 1000-300 mb q, U'q', V'q' omega'q'
    primes are deviation from that month's mean
The isentropic data also covers the stratosphere and includes monthly means on 270, 280, 290, 300, 315, 330, 350, 400, 450, 550, 650K surfaces. Variables include,
  • Montgomery streamfunction
  • pressure
  • potential vorticity
  • horizonatal winds
  • mass-weighted horizonatal winds
