These were produced by combining measurements around 0.1° latitude and longitude intervals and around altitudes used in the COAMPS model. Values are given only where a minimum of 1 km flight path was availabe in the corresponding space. A key provides some indication of variability. A fuller description of the procedures is given in a description file.
