GCIP/ESOP-98: MAPS MOLTS Derived Soundings

Summary

The GCIP/ESOP-98 MAPS MOLTS Derived Sounding data set contains NOAA/FSL MAPS Model Location Time Series (MOLTS) derived soundings for locations contained within the ESOP-98 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 availabe from NCAR/SCD. This data consists of output from 01 October 1997 to 31 May 1998. See the README file for more details.
