NCAR (Trenberth and Paolino) Northern Hemisphere Sea-Level Pressure (SLP) 1899 - April 2009
Entry ID: NCAR_NHSea-LevelPressureSLP1899April2009

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A 5-degree latitude-longitude resolution data set for the domain 90-12.5N. The dataset is updated monthly and an updated version of this data set can be obtained at the NCAR data WWW archive (http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds010.1/).

The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is depicted in a correlation map of January-February-March SLP anomalies and AO values for 1931-65 and 1966-2000, respectively. The AO is the tendency for SLP anomalies near the pole to be of opposite sign to those in the latitudes near 45N.
