Tropical stratospheric zonal winds in ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis, rocketsonde data, and rawinsonde data
ECMWF ERA-40 reanalysis zonal winds are very close to tropical rocketsonde and rawinsonde (radiosonde and radar wind soundings) observations up to 10 hPa. Above 10 hPa differences increase, although the ERA-40 data provide a good representation of tropical winds up to 2-3 hPa. The amplitudes of the...
