Comparison of NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Data and Radiosonde Data about Temperature and Geopotential Height of Upper Air over the Tibetan Plateau
青藏高原地区上空NCEP/NCAR再分析温度和位势高度资料与观测资料的比较分析

The 32-year mean (1971-2002) NCEP/NCAR reanalysis monthly data are investigated by comparing with temperature and geopotential height data obtained from radiosonde reports of 12 stations over the Tibetan Plateau. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) Monthly temperature and geopotential height of the reanalysis data are almost consistent with the observation data in climatology, the reanalysis data can objectively represent the climatic characteristics of the Tibetan Plateau. 2) There are strong positive ...
