DatasetsDescriptionOPeNDAP
GISS surface temperature analysis Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS/NASA) surface temperature analysis for the globe; globally gridded at a 2x2 resolution. Catalog
Livneh daily CONUS near-surface gridded meteorological and derived hydrometeorological data. This CONUS daily dataset from 1915 to 2011 is 1/16 resolution. The dataset variables have been generated using the Variable Infiltration Capacity VIC hydrologic model v.4.1.2.c which was driven with the companion meteorological data. Catalog
NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1948 to the present. Catalog
NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Products Derived at NOAA/PSL A subset of the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis has been processed to create monthly means of the original data, and in some cases, derived variables or other statistics. Catalog
NCEP/DOE Reanalysis II A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1979 through 2003. A large subset of this data is available from NOAA/PSL in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages. Catalog
NOAA's Outgoing Longwave Radiation–Daily Climate Data Record (OLR–Daily CDR) Gridded daily 1x1 OLR CDR data from NCDC interpolated to -90 to 90. Catalog
NOAA Highly Reflective Clouds Subjectively identified areas of large-scale organized convection over the global tropics have been gridded daily for a 15-year period from 1971 to 1988. Catalog
