| Title | AAM from NCEP reanalysis - 2016 |
| Date | 2017-03-27 |
| Volume | 2016 |
| Content | Data are NCEP values of effective atmospheric angular momentum functions as calculated from NCEP/NCAR reanalyses archived on pressure surfaces. The Transfer functions and Principal moments in Eubanks (1993) are employed to derive the atmospheric angular momentum functions. |
