Not sure how long this has been here, but on the excellent Météociel
site he-



http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/archives/archives.php



there is a facility to recall data from the NCEP 'Reanalysis' project,
from 1950. Now I know that Wetterzentrale.de have had such for some
time, but that site only has data for 00Z and for three fields (850T
on one chart & 500 gp/PMSL on another).



The Météociel archive has output for both 00Z and 12Z and for the
following fields (covering the North Atlantic/Europe-Mediterranean
region)



... 500 hPa gp, PMSL

... 850T, sig 850 windflow

... 200 hPa 'jet' flow (might not be the jet of course but a good
proxy)

... 850T & 'significant' thickness (or Relative Topography) isopleths.



You can plot all the charts at once, or each one individually.



There are also options for some fields covering the entire Northern
Hemisphere; however, I can only get a response for the last few
years - it may be that the database is under development for this
function.



Incidentally, this site is really superb: look for example at the
output available for broad-scale guidance on model output he-

If folk in the south want cheering up, have a look at the latest ECMWF
output :-)

Nice one, Martin. It's a new one to me.

Worthwhile (if only for practicing school French). Seriously, the
1200 charts are a real bonus.

However, (can't remember who gave it) this is a very useful link to
more recent UKMO midday archives:

http://homepages.see.leeds.ac.uk/~le...0_analysis.gif

The 080101 is in YYMMDD format and would need to be changed as
required, eg 10 July 2008 becomes 080710

More links via my website www.weatherjack.co.uk

It's even more useful than that. The following link leads to a 6-hourly
archive of UKMO anals and progs dating back to 2007
