NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) Monthly Products

Entry ID: NCAR_DS093.2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was initially completed over the 31-year period from 1979 to 2009 and will be extended in real-time into the future. CFSR monthly atmospheric, oceanic and land surface output products are available at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 degree horizontal resolutions as 6-hourly diurnal monthly means (00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z) and regular monthly means. As a value-add for longer-term climate research, the CISL RDA has created timeseries of individual parameters/levels from the regular monthly means. For more information about CFSR, please see http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/cfsr.html [http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/cfsr.html].

Quality The MLS NRT data are not as accurate as the retrievals that constitute the standard MLS products, but nevertheless the results are of scientific use and track the standard MLS products with reasonable fidelity. NRT temperature profiles are only recommended for scientific use at pressure levels from 178 hPa to 1 hPa.
