Southern Hemisphere Constant Pressure Charts

BRIEF

This file contains twice daily, 0000 and 1200 GMT, computer plotted and analyzed charts for constant pressure levels of 500, 300, and 250 millibars. Analyzed heights for each pressure chart are drawn as solid lines at 60-meter intervals. Isotachs at 20-knot intervals are drawn as dashed lines. High and Low pressure centers are depicted and the station observational data with wind-barbs are plotted. These analyzed charts are prepared by the National Weather Service (NWS) National Meteorological Center (NMC), as part of their routine analyses and forecasting procedures. They are sent to NCDC and stored on 35-millimeter microfilm.
