Early ship-based upper-air data and comparison with the Twentieth Century Reanalysis ...
Extension of 3-D atmospheric data products back into the past is desirable for a wide range of applications. Historical upper-air data are important in this endeavour, particularly in the maritime regions of the tropics and the southern hemisphere, where observations are extremely sparse. Here we pr...

Extension of 3-D atmospheric data products back into the past is desirable for a wide range of applications.
