HADRT2.2: Reconstructed gridded data set of global monthly radiosonde temperature anomalies, derived from HadRT2.1 (1958-2000)
The HADRT2.2 data are global monthly fields of radiosonde temperature anomalies at standard pressure levels on a 10 degree latitude by 20 degree longitude grid from 1958 to 2000.
Anomalies are calculated with respect to 1971-1990 climatology. Anomalies are available for 9 standard levels (850, 700, 500, 300, 200, 150, 100, 50, 30hPa) as well as tropospheric (850 - 300hPa) and stratospheric (150 - 30hPa) averages.
The data are degree Celsius anomalies from 1970-1990 means. Anomalies are calculated for each of about 200 sonde stations worldwide and grid values derived from these.
HADRT2.2 is an eigenvector reconstructed grid data set from 1958 - 2000, on a 10 degree latitude by 20 degree longitude grid, created from HadRT2.1. The eigenvector reconstruction was used to infill missing seasons or years in boxes with 70% of seasonal or annual data available.
This dataset has been superseded by the HadAT dataset also available from CEDA.
