Sea Level Pressure Daily Gridded Data for Northern Hemisphere

RIHMI-WDC created this dataset in 1981. It contains gridded hydrometeorological data for the Northern hemisphere, sourced from the Russian State Fund of data. The data is currently stored on magnetic tape (800 bit/inch).

Use Cases

• Analyze historical atmospheric pressure trends based on gridded daily data
• Model climate patterns in the Northern Hemisphere based on sea level pressure data
• Validate modern climate simulations against historical observations based on hydrometeorological data

Strengths

• Dataset created by a recognized institution (RIHMI-WDC) in 1981
• Provides gridded data for the Northern hemisphere

Limitations

• Last updated 1976-12-31 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
