Canadian GEM Global Model Forecast Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.026

Summary
This data set contains the four panel forecast imagery from the Environment
Canada global GEM model over North America. The panels contain 500 mb
height/wind/vorticity, mean sea level pressure/1000-500mb thickness, 700mb
hieghts/humidity, and 850mb heights/temperature. The products are available
every 12 hours out to the 144 hour forecast. The images were created by
Environment Canada. This data set contains imagery from the two PLOWS field
phases, 6 February to 31 March 2009 and 14 October 2009 to 10 March 2010. No
imagery are available for the period between the field phases.
