May someone assist please; we are in need of a reliable data source for atmospheric-pressure (southern Africa) based on monthly values; averaged over about 10 or more years. Preferably a shape-file readable in ArcGIS. We are working on the ecological implications of bat sound spatial-variation, more specifically, echolocation.
You can access NOAA meteorological data directly from their website:
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis.html
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis2.html
or, more interestingly, from R with rnoaa or RNCPU packages. R allows you to manipulate the data to virtually any purpose.
All the best
