Satellite-derived Ocean Color Data sets from historical and currently operational NASA and International Satellite missions including the NASA Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) (1978 – 1986), NASDA’s Ocean Color Temperature Scanner (OCTS) (1996 – 1997), NASA/GeoEYE Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor…
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data products are currently available from 1998 to the present.The TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall. Global Precipitation Measurement data products will…
SERVIR is a Spanish acronym for “Regional Visualization and Monitoring System.” The SERVIR project enables the use of Earth observations and predictive models for timely decision making through regional platforms in Mesoamerica, East Africa, and the Hindu-Kush Himalayas. The SERVIR project…
The GHRC is the data management and user services arm of the Global Hydrology and Climate Center. It encompasses the data and information management, supporting product generation, archival, and distribution of research quality and operational datasets for a variety of…
This site provides access to the software read tools, a data pool, and supporting documentation for the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer. TES is a high-resolution imaging infrared Fourier-transform spectrometer that operates in both nadir and limb-sounding modes. TES global survey standard…
Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy data – over 200 satellite-derived meteorology and solar energy parameters, monthly averaged from 22 years of data, global solar data for 1195 ground sites
Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) was launched on April 28, 2006 to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth’s radiation budget and climate. It flies in formation with five other satellites in the international…
The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a key component of the Earth Observing System (EOS) program. The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth’s atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions are a follow-on…
International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) focuses on the distribution and variation of cloud radiative properties to improve the understanding of the effects of clouds on climate, the radiation budget, and the long-term global hydrologic cycle.
