<p>It is an unusual year where I'm at, I'd like to go and see similar climatological years for the north america, more particularly for average pressure, maybe 500mb or 700mb. How would I do this  </p>

<p>Edit: Regional or State would be fine. Average pressure on a 1 month or seasonal basis.   </p>

<p>Context: I am simply trying to compare the year, if there is a better way to do this than pressure, even temperature and precip would be nice. I'm looking to find simmilarities between years on a regional level. A map of average pressure on a seasonal basis would be awesome. </p>

<p>Region: North America regional, but the finer resolution the better</p>

<p>License: I'd like this to be free.   </p>

<p>Format: Any format is acceptable.  </p>

<p>Non-answers: I'm looking for more then the NOAA Climatic Data Center can provide. </p>

<p>Authority: Any source is acceptable  </p>

Are you talking total pressure, or the mean pattern.  Either way, wonder if it might be a little complex if looking to match weather to similar years, since a year of alternating strong high and low pressures wouldn't show up all that different to a year of fairly quiet patterns.

In what form do you want the data, and what geographical distribution? (one number for entire North America seems a bit pointless). Please [read this](https://opendata.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/284/how-a-good-data-request-question-should-look-like) and update your question.
