We created 50 years of data showing the state of the atmosphere and the weather for the whole globe. This project made easily accessible such information to atmospheric scientists. As a result an enormous number of research projects on weather and climate became feasible for many people throughout the world. In a smaller way, it's like making the genome of the atmosphere available to researchers. We also included a user-friendly CDROM with 50 years of monthly means...
