SGP97: GEM MOLTS Derived Soundings. Version 1.0

The SGP97 GEM MOLTS Derived Soundings data set contains AES/CMC GEM Model Location Time Series (MOLTS) derived soundings from up to 255 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 April 1997 to June 30, 2000. More output is being added frequently. See the README file for more details.
