START08: Merged Selected GV Low Rate Flight-Level Data and Interpolated GFS Analysis Variables

Summary

This dataset contains netCDF data files that hold selected variables from the NCAR Gulfstream V (GV) aircraft and large-scale meteorological variables interpolated in space and time from the high-resolution NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) 6-hourly global analyses. The files also include a number of derived variables.
