Information updated on Thu Aug 10 14:09:19 2006
General Data Description
The Mesoscale Analysis and Prediction System (MAPS) refers to previous development versions of the RUC (Rapdi Updated Cycle). This version of MAPS
was based on a grid cell of 60 km.
Data Stream Names
sgpallmaps60X1.c1
sgpmaps60X1.c1
Measurement Description
For each latitude, longitude and altitude:
- x and y component of wind (meters/second)
- relative humidity (unitless fraction)
- temperature (kelvin)
- height above mean sea level (meters)
- pressure of constant pressure surface (hectopascals)
Temporal Coverage
sgpallmaps60X1.c1 06/16/1993 - 07/07/1994
sgpmaps60X1.c1 12/02/1993 - 10/15/1994
