Data Set Description:

    The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) routinely
    produced 500 mb pressure level analyses from its
    Global/Regional Assimilation Prognosis (GASP) model
    runs. Two model runs were produced daily (00 and 12 UTC).
    GASP model output were available from the BoM McIDAS
    system and the 500 mb analyses were archived as GIF
    imagery. Height contours were plotted every 50 m.
