The meteorological data shown here are derived from the
NASA Goddard Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) GEOS-5 data
assimilation and forecast system. The NASA GSFC GEOS-5 model is run at a 0.3125 degree longitude
and 0.25 degree latitude resolution with vertical levels at the standard pressure levels. The model data are at 6h intervals (0, 6, 12, and
18Z). The GEOS-5 Wiki
page contains the main details on this data.
The plots are all 2-panel. The RHS plot shows the 60-day time-mean profile of the
quantity, while the LHS shows the deviations from this 60-day mean.
1. Temperature
The 6h temperature data are low pass filtered with a Gaussian
filter that has a 1/2 amplitude response at1 day.
These plots are scaled with the square root of pressure to make the
tropospheric values more visible. The 6h EHF data are low pass filtered with a Gaussian
filter to make them more readable. The filter has a 1/2 amplitude response at 1.66 days.
