PSD Climate and Weather Data

 

PSD archives a wide range of data ranging from gridded climate datasets extending hundreds of years to real-time wind profiler data at a single location. The data or products derived from this data, organized by type, are available to scientists and the general public at the links below.

Type: Climate

Gridded climate datasets
Gridded climate datasets ranging in resolution from 32km and upwards and in time from the 1700s to the present are available for download.
Atmospheric/Ocean Timeseries
Key atmosphere and ocean timeseries like Nina3.4 and the AMO are available for use and download.

Type: Satellite

Blended Sea Surface Temperature Products
Available from web or ftp.
Satellite-Derived Heat Fluxes and Near-Surface Specific Humidity and Air Temperature
Sample Data

Type:Wind Profiling Radars

Wind Profiler Database
Profiler data for a selection of sites is available. Data ranges from 1990 to 2005. It contains half-hourly or hourly post-processed (i.e. research quality) data from 915 and 50 MHz wind profilers.
Boundary Layer Profiler Network: Data/Image Request Form
Obtain ASCII data for a specified date/variable
Near Realtime Boundary Layer Profiler Network.
24 hour images of near realtime wind profiler and surface meteorology for select field campaigns carried out by the Water Cycle Branch of PSD2. There is also access to archived images and data for the currently installed instruments.

Type:Air-Sea Fluxes

Cruise Data Archive (FTP link)
A unique database of surface fluxes, boundary-layer physical properties, and cloud information that represents a major resource for anyone working on marine atmospheric problems.
Working Group in Surface Fluxes
Group will develop datasets, improve measurements and do assessments of climate models associated with fluxes.
