Description

The GOZCARDS Source Data for Temperature 1 month L4 10 degree Zonal Averages on a Vertical Pressure Grid product (GozSmlpT) contains zonal means and related information (standard deviation, minimum/maximum value, etc.), calculated from the original products. The source Temperature data are from the GMAO MERRA model product DAS 3d analyzed state MAI6NVANA (v5.2.0; 1979 - onward). The vertical pressure range for Temperature is from 1000 to 0.015 hPa.

The GozSmlpT source data are distributed in netCDF4 format.
