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.
