The GMAO is pleased to announce the public release of the MERRA-2 Climate Statistics supplementary dataset. This dataset adds four file collections computed from MERRA-2 including monthly statistics that represent extreme temperature and precipitation events, as well as long term means intended to assist researchers with their analysis of MERRA-2. Data can be downloaded through GESDISC.
The Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) works to maximize the impact of satellite observations in climate, weather and atmospheric composition prediction using comprehensive global models and data assimilation. To achieve this goal, the GMAO develops models and assimilation systems, generates products to support NASA instrument teams and the NASA Earth science program, and undertakes scientific research to inform system development pathways.
Assimilation systems have been developed for the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface. GMAO's long-term goal is an integrated Earth system model and assimilation system that treats the individual components in a more coupled and interactive manner. GMAO works within numerous national and international collaborations to support its mission.
