BOM(GASP) - Australian Bureau of Meteorology Global Analysis and Prediction global gridded dataset archive - 1998 to present

The CSIRO archive of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Global Analysis and Prediction (GASP) global gridded analysis datasets for the period from 1998 until present. The Global AnalysiS Prediction model uses spectral numerical analysis techniques to provide 6-hourly (00,06,12,18) variables at 60 levels from the surface to 10 hPa with a resolution of 1 deg (approximately 85 km horizontal resolution). Datasets have been tarred into single monthly archives with the following file following folder convention [ /YYYY/YYYYMM.tar (YY=year, MM=month)], with each monthly file being approximately 6-7 MB totaling 75.9 GB per year. Datasets are in netcdf format and are continuously updated.
