Constant Pressure Level Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.015

Summary
This data set contains 12-hourly constant pressure level maps over the
continental US. The levels included are 200, 250, 300, 500, 700 and 850 mb.
During PLOWS 2009-2010 the 925 mb level was also included. The maps were
generated by NCAR/RAL and contain actual station observations and the RUC
initial analysis. This data set contains imagery from the two PLOWS field
phases, 7 January to 30 March 2009 and 16 October 2009 to 10 March 2010. No
imagery are available for the period between the field phases.
