Global Troposphere
==================

This recipe is available via |AutoAssess|.

Overview
--------

Summary of global tropospheric performance looking at general circulation
diagnostics of MSLP, U, V, T, RH and precipitation. Also looks at range of 1.5m
temperatures.

Includes diurnal cycle of precipitation and OLR compared to TRMM and CERES.


Available recipes and diagnostics
---------------------------------

The assessment code is available from the `AutoAssess`_ repository.
