PSD Gridded Climate Datasets: Daily
Datasets | Description |
---|---|
CPC .25x.25 Daily US Unified Precipitation | US high resolution gridded precipitation (from station data) for 1948 to 1998. |
Interpolated OLR | OLR data from NCAR with sophisticated spatial and temporal interpolation. See the related Uninterpolated OLR dataset. |
MSU | Two Microwave Sounding Unit tropospheric temperatures and daily average precipitation available in a global grid (2.5°x2.5°). |
North American Regional Renalaysis (NARR) | NCEP's high resolution combined model and assimilated dataset. It covers 1979 to near present and is provided 8-times daily, daily and monthly on a Northern Hemisphere Lambert Conformal Conic grid for all variables. |
NCEP Operational Analysis | NCEP's twice-daily global analysis at 2.5° resolution on pressure levels which is a product of their operational forecast system. |
NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis | A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1948 to the present. |
PSD Derived NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Products | 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. |
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 PSD in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages. |
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. |
Uninterpolated OLR | OLR data from NCEP without interpolation. See the Interpolated OLR dataset for an interpolated version. |
