GISS surface temperature analysis GISS surface temperature analysis for the globe Catalog
Interpolated OLR OLR data from NCAR with sophisticated spatial and temporal interpolation. See the related Uninterpolated OLR dataset.Catalog
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. Catalog
NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis A state-of-the-art analysis/forecast system is used to perform data assimilation using data from 1948 to the present.Catalog
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.Catalog
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.Catalog
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. Catalog
Uninterpolated OLR OLR data from NCEP without interpolation. See the Interpolated OLR dataset for an interpolated version.Catalog
20th Century Reanalysis (V1) 20th Century Reanalysis contains objectively-analyzed 4-dimensional weather maps and their uncertainty for most of the 1900's.N/A
