A 2.5° resolution land-ocean mask has been developed for the Radiative Flux Assessment. It can be used as a filter for creating global, regional, or zonal time series for land or ocean.

  • Format - Pixels are arranged as in global map standard.

  • Values - Use I2 format: 0 = ocean, 1 = land, 2 = coast, where coastal pixels have at least 10% of both land and water.
