GCIP/ESOP-97: Eta MOLTS Derived Soundings

Summary

The GCIP/ESOP-97 Eta MOLTS Derived Soundings data set contains NCEP Eta Model Location Time Series (MOLTS) derived soundings for locations within the ESOP-97 domain. These output are only for the initial analysis time (i.e. no forecast derived soundings) and only the state parameters (pressure, temperature, dew point, relative humidity, wind speed, and wind direction). The complete output (including hourly forecast derived soundings with all surface and upper level parameters) in the original BUFR format are available from NCAR/SCD. This data set consists of output from 01 October 1996 to 31 May 1997. See the README file for more details.
