| 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. |
