Atmospheric
Atmospheric CDRs were created to address the need for Climate Variables, especially Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) as identified by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The Atmospheric surface ECVs are: Air temperature, Wind speed and direction, Water vapor, Pressure, Precipitation, Surface radiation budget. The Atmospheric upper-air ECVs are: Temperature, Wind speed and direction, Water vapor, Cloud properties, Earth radiation budget (including solar irradiance). The Atmospheric composition ECVs are: Carbon dioxide, Methane, and other long-lived greenhouse gases[3], Ozone and Aerosol, supported by their precursors. CDRs are often generated by blending satellite observations, in-situ data, and/or model output.
