Description:
A global dataset of meteorological forcings has been developed that can be used to drive models of land surface hydrology. The dataset is constructed by combining a suite of global observation-based datasets with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. Known biases in the reanalysis precipitation and near-surface meteorology have been shown to exert an erroneous effect on modeled land surface water and energy budgets and are thus corrected using observation-based datasets of precipitation, air temperature an…
Dataset ID:
d314000
Description:
This dataset contains hourly observations and summary of day
information from Australian observing stations generally from
1957 to 1982, but some data go back as far as 1939.

d523000
Description:
The Dynamical Core Model Intercomparison Project (DCMIP) in 2016 focused on non-hydrostatic global models, physics-dynamics coupling, and variable-resolution modeling. The required test cases including moist baroclinic wave with terminator chemistry, idealized tropical cyclone and supercell scenarios. The intercomparison results are archived and used to establish new atmospheric model test cases of intermediate complexity incorporating simplified physics parameterizations for global climate an…
Dataset ID:
d580007
Description:
This dataset includes climate model output data from NCAR's Community Earth System Model (CESM) CMIP 5 runs, configured as CCSM4 (CAM4), with output fields for the 3-D global atmosphere at six hourly intervals. A basic set of parameters is provided on 26 model hybrid level surfaces: specific humidity, temperature, wind components, and geopotential height to support regional modeling studies. Additional parameters are provided on single level grids to support analysis studies including surfac…

Description:
The National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS) Version 2.0 Surface Flux Dataset is a monthly mean gridded dataset of marine surface measurements and derived fluxes constructed using optimal interpolation. Input for the period 1973 to 2006 are ICOADS Release 2.4 ship data, the update from 2007 to 2014 uses ICOADS Release 2.5 and data after 2007 are preliminary. The dataset is presented as a time series of monthly mean values on a 1 degree area grid. The quality of the gridded data is q…
Dataset ID:
d260003
Description:
This dataset contains observations from U.S. and some foreign
aircraft during the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE).
The GATE period was from June to September 1974.
Dataset ID:
d875000
Description:
This revision is Version 1e for QSCAT Ku-2001 ocean surface winds
derived using a locally weighted regression interpolation
method. The region of influence (ROI) varies depending on
the quality of the resultant interpolation. ROI of 3 and
5 degrees (latitude by longitude) have been used. The
resultant grids are 0.5 degrees and 3 hour resolution. The
coverage is for 40S to the 70S.
The QSCAT (Ku-2001) satellite data were provided by
Remote Sensi…
Dataset ID:
d744005
Description:
Using a radio occultation technique, scientists are able to use signals broadcast from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to retrieve profiles of bending angles, refractivity, temperature, pressure, and water vapor in the atmosphere. Also, profiles of electron density in the ionosphere. Such data are gathered and processed at the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, Climate (COSMIC) Data Analysis and Archive Center (CDAAC) in Boulder, Colorado. Various products ar…
Dataset ID:
d723000
Description:
Daily minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation have been extracted for long term stations from the U.S. COOP station network. The data has been extracted for the period 1950 through 2004 for all stations which have a low percentage of missing data (generally less than 5%, analyzed independently by variable for each station). Data is available for stations from 46 states.
Dataset ID:
d510006
Description:
This dataset includes the 3rd release of the global ocean-surface heat flux products. The OAFlux products are constructed from multiple data sources, an optimal
blending of satellite retrievals and three atmospheric analyses. Daily fluxes are computed from the optimally estimated variables using the COARE bulk flux algorithm 3.0.
Monthly products are made from entire 49-year period, and daily products are available from 1985 onward. For further information, please visit the OAFlux Proje…
