Data from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting
Entry ID: NILU_ECMWF_T106

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: These data are global fields of temperature and winds on 31 model
levels at T106 resolution. The data are in spectral form and in the
grib format. NILU has developed user friendly software to extract and
interpolate the data onto a lat. lon. grid at isobaric or isentropic
levels.
It is also possible to calculate potential vorticity.
The T106 data are transferred to NILU through the Norwegian
Meteorological Institute on a daily basis.

Description: as before
Caption: Potential vorticity field
