Climatological Meteorological Plots for ATom-1: REAN2

In the table below, sample thumbnail images only are shown. Follow the links underneath each image to view the individual plot that you want.

The plots show meteorological field values from 1980 through 2014. At each gridpoint, all the values for a single day in each year are collected and their population statistics examined. By looking at a plot of a single statistic for all the gridpoints, you can get an idea of the spatial distribution of typical fields and the variability of those values. Each plot in the table shows quantile values of grid points in meteorological fields taken from 1980 through 2014. For each grid point, the 0th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100% percentile values were calculated from all the years'd meteorological data for the given day. The quantiles form the columns, and the quantities plotted are the rows. Thus, the far left-hand side of the page shows minimum values at each gridpoint, and the far right-hand side plots show the maximum values. The "median" column shows the 50th percentile values; there can be taken as typical. Half of all the value lie between the 25th and the 75th percentiles.
