CFRP III Field Campaign
Model Initialization Data
The Australian Cold Front Research Project (CFRP) Phase III case study focused on a cool change passage that took place over the south coast of Australia (approximate area 50S-25S latitude, 125E-160E longitude) over the time period November 17-19, 1984.
This case study presents data from 17 Nov 1984 to 19 Nov 1984 and covers a region from 5S to 65S latitude and from 95E to 175W longitude.
>6-hourly NCEP Reanalysis data are available here for certain pressure level, surface, and surface flux variables.
