NCEP/NCAR 2m temperature
mean daily NMC reanalysis (1948)
X axis: whole world in 192 1.88° steps, first point at 0.00° E, last point at 358.12° E
Y axis: Gaussian grid with 94 steps, first point at 88.54° N, last point at 88.54° S

1-daily data available from 01Jan1948 to 08Nov2024 ( 28129 times)
Variable air (mean Daily Air temperature at 2 m) in degK
Full metadata. The associated land/sea mask is available for some operations

Get grid points, average area or generate subset

Mask:	no mask   add a mask to the list
Latitude:	°N - °N
Longitude:	°E - °E
Year range:	-
Boundaries:	halfway grid points interpolated
Make:	average max min set of grid points subset of the field
Demand at least:	% valid points in this region
Considering:	everything land points sea points show/hide more only land points only sea points not land points not sea points
Units:	convert to Celsius leave in degK

Create a field with lower time resolution

First fill missing data:	ignore, climatology, trend, persistence.
Then apply:	-day running mean with direction backward centred forward
Then apply new time scale:	keep same time scale annual (Jul-Jun) annual (Jan-Dec) biannual seasonal monthly 10-daily 5-daily
New variable:	mean sd sum sum above sum below number min time of min max time of max first time last time of 2m temperature
Minimum:	% valid data
Threshold:	no cut less than greater than degK percentile normal 1971-2000
