Climate Variability and Change Analysis Datasets
Each of the available datasets has been used in studies that have been published
in peer-reviewed journals. We request that data users reference the relevant articles. Thank you.
Datasets available via data centers and journals:
Climatological planetary boundary layer heights over the U.S. and
Europe, available from J. Geophysical Research,
(Seidel
et al. 2012)
Climatology of Arctic and Antarctic surface-based inversions, available from J. Climate,
(Zhang et al. 2011)
Our tropical tropopause, stratosphere, and tropopause climatological datasets (Seidel et al. 2001,
Reprint
) are available at the Stratospheric Processes and Their Role in Climate
(SPARC) Data Center.
An updated version of our radiosonde station history meta-dataset (Gaffen 1993, 1996) is also
available from the National Climatic Data Center, as part of the
Integrated Global
Radiosonde Archive (IGRA). The original version is available on the ARL site
(Radiosonde Station Metadata).
Mean Weighted Temperature for GPS,
a dataset of vertically-averaged mean atmospheric temperatures suitable for use in GPS retrievals
(Ross and Rosenfeld 1997).
