Eta MOLTS Derived Soundings

Projects:

Summary

The GCIP/EOP Eta MOLTS Derived Soundings data set contains NCEP Eta Model Location Time Series (MOLTS) derived soundings from up to 574 locations over North America. 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 currently consists only of output from October 1995 to February 28, 2001. More output is being added frequently. See the README file for more details.
