This dataset contains various daily NMC forecast grids on a 47 by 51 Northern Hemisphere polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole. Grids on various tropospheric levels and layers contain parameters which include geopotential height, temperature, wind, surface and sea-level pressure, vertical motion, and stream functions, and they are available for sporadic periods between November 1967 and December 1971.
