• AB: Pressure and temperature fields as described in the buoy reports.


WARNING: These AB datasets are 20 - 30 Megabytes when uncompressed. Compressed, they are only about 4M, but if you grab these datasets through mosaic rather than through ftp, make sure that you have enough disk space free in your temporary and home directories since the default action of mosaic would be to grab the dataset, then uncompress it which could crash your system if you do not have enough space.
 

• C: Buoy positions as described in the buoy reports.

 
• D: Ice velocity fields as described in the buoy reports.

• New Surface Air Temperature fields.
• Monthly Fields of SLP, SAT, and Ice Motion.
