MSU LIMB93 Deep Layer Temperatures and Ocean Precipitation
Data from the MSU LIMB93 processing is available in two formats,
namely, the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) and a native format
originally used by the data producer. In both cases, separate
files are provided for the Lower Tropospheric Temperature (LTT),
the Upper Tropospheric Temperature (UTT), the Lower Stratospheric
Temperature (LST) and the Oceanic Precipitation (OP). Each HDF
file contains a single year of daily grids at 2.5 degree resolution.
The native format files contain all 16 years of data in single
files, except for precipitation which is separated by year
as in the case of the HDF version of the data. The data and
read programs are available for both data formats via anonymous
FTP.
