MERRA2 Monthly Mean Single-Level Diagnostics
d927358
Abstract:
The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), is a global atmospheric reanalysis produced by NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) using the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model and data assimilation system. The M2TMNXSLV collection provides monthly mean single-level meteorological diagnostics for the satellite era. This convenience-copy dataset contains M2TMNXSLV data for 1980-present that have been reorganized into variable-specific NetCDF files to facilitate access, analysis, and distribution while preserving the original spatial and temporal characteristics of the source dataset.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in GDEX citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
