Australian Southern Hemisphere 500 Millibar Heights, June 1968 to August 1977

This dataset contains 500 millibar heights for the Southern Hemisphere for the period June 1968 to August 1977. The grid has a resolution of 10 degrees in the longitudinal direction and 5 degrees in the latitudinal direction and covers the hemisphere from 15S to the South Pole. The data were received from the Australian Numerical Meteorology Research Centre. Unless you have a special interest in this dataset, DSS recommends that you use one of our reanalysis datasets, such as ds090.0 [https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds090.0/], because those are based on a more complete collection of observations, improved analysis methods, and are provided in a common modern format (GRIB).
