INTEX-A Aircraft data

INTEXA_DC8_AIRCRAFT is the Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment - North America Phase A (INTEX-A) Aircraft data product. INTEX-A was an integrated atmospheric field experiment performed over North America. The study sought to understand the transport and transformation of gases and aerosols on transcontinental/intercontinental scales and their impact on air quality and climate. A particular focus in this study is to quantify and characterize the inflow and outflow of pollution over North America. The main constituents of interest are ozone and precursors, aerosols and precursors, and the long-lived greenhouse gases.INTEX-NA is part of a larger international ITCT (Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation) initiative. INTEX-NA goals are greatly facilitated and enhanced by a number of concurrent and coordinated national and international field campaigns and satellite observations. Synthesis of the ensemble of observation from surface, airborne, and space platforms, with the help of a hierarchy of models is an important goal of INTEX-NA.

International Ice Patrol Annual North Atlantic Iceberg Summaries and Reports, Version 1

The International Ice Patrol (IIP) has been monitoring iceberg activity in the North Atlantic since 1913. This data set contains yearly summaries and reports of these iceberg sightings beginning in 2024 for the IIP's Area of Responsibility (AOR) in the North Atlantic (40° N to 60° N, 40° W to 60° W) during the iceberg season. The iceberg season runs from 1 October of one year to 30 September of the next year. Each year contains two files: a one page summary PDF and full iceberg season PDF report. The summary provides a concise graphical overview. Each year’s iceberg season severity is ranked as light, moderate, severe, or extreme, and given historical context in a graph of annual severity beginning in 1900. The summary also includes a monthly graph of the year’s number of icebergs estimated crossing south of 48° N, along with the climatological average.<br><br> To access older IIP iceberg reports visit the U.S. Coast Guard's <a href="https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/international-ice-patrol-annual-reports">International Ice Patrol Annual Reports</a> web page.<br><br> To access the data that was used to produce these reports, see the following data sets at NSIDC:<br> <ul> <li><a href="https://nsidc.org/data/g00807/versions/1">International Ice Patrol (IIP) Iceberg Sightings Database</a></li> <li><a href="https://nsidc.org/data/g10028/versions/1">International Ice Patrol Annual Count of Icebergs South of 48 Degrees North, 1900 to Present</a></li> <li><a href="https://nsidc.org/data/g00874/versions/1">International Ice Patrol Iceberg Drift Tracks</a></li>

International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) extension of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2020 (ITRF2020) TRF Model with additional SLR sites from NASA CDDIS

Expanded set of SLR station positions and velocities in the ITRF2020 frame, includes historical sites NOT part of ITRF2020 and some very recently installed sites that came online in 2022. A small number of sites require special treatment with the addition of corrections to their "mean" positions (in this file) from the ITRS-distributed PSD model, due to "events" (e.g. earthquakes) or changes at the site. Users must apply these corrections cumulatively, to the linearly propagated positions from this file, by themselves. For more details, s/w and relevant correction files please visit the official ITRS site on ITRF2020 at: https://itrf.ign.fr/en/solutions/ITRF2020

Hydrologic Outlets of the Greenland Ice Sheet, Version 1

The Hydrologic Outlets of the Greenland Ice Sheet data set contains GIS point shapefiles that include 891 observed and potential hydrologic outlets of the Greenland Ice Sheet, as identified by Lewis and Smith (2009), using satellite imagery. There are 460 observed hydrologic outlets that include proglacial streams and rivers emerging from the ice sheet (length scale >1 km), proglacial lakes touching the ice edge or clearly connected to it via streams or rivers (length scale >3 km), and sediment-rich plumes exiting tidewater glaciers into fjords. Also, there are 431 potential hydrologic outlets that include point locations with release of meltwater from fjords without obvious sediment discharge, as well as locations where the ice sheet directly connects to the ocean that cannot be proven to release meltwater. Meltwater features along the entire edge of the ice sheet were mapped via photo interpretation of GoogleEarth and Landsat ETM+ 15 m panchromatic data. The exact acquisition dates of the imagery are not available; however, owing to the light and relatively snow-free conditions seen in the GoogleEarth and Landsat images, it is presumed that they were taken during the summer season. Neither Landsat or GoogleEarth images were available for a section of ice sheet within the northern Tunu region; therefore, that region was excluded from the study. This excluded area represents approximately 0.9 percent of the ice sheet perimeter. Data are available via FTP, and can be read in any GIS software. The following journal article provides documentation for this data set: Lewis, Sarah and Laurence Smith. 2009. Hydrologic Drainage of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Hydrological Processes doi: 10.1002/hyp.7343. This journal article can be accessed from the Documentation link at the top of this Web page.

Hydrologic Sub-basins of Greenland, Version 1

The Hydrologic Sub-basins of Greenland data set contains Geographic Information System (GIS) polygon shapefiles that include 293 hydrologic sub-basins of the Greenland Ice Sheet, as created by Lewis and Smith (2009). Five km Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of ice-surface and bedrock topography (Bamber et al. 2001) were used to estimate the hydraulic potentiometric surface for Greenland, which accounts for the effects of ice overburden pressure, such as hydrostatic pressure, surface topography, and underlying bedrock topography (Paterson 1994). Using the 5 km potentiometric grid, a modeled basin network for Greenland's ice sheet was created using the hydrological tools within ESRI ArcGIS (ArcInfo 9.2). Although the GIS initially generated more than 293 basins, basins less than 100 km2 in size, as well as basins located completely outside of the ice sheet extent, were removed from the data set. Data are available via FTP, and can be read in any GIS software. The following journal article provides documentation for this data set: Lewis, Sarah and Laurence Smith. 2009. Hydrologic Drainage of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Hydrological Processes DOI: 10.1002/hyp.7343. This journal article can be accessed from the Documentation link at the top of this Web page.

Integrated Multi-Mission Ocean Altimeter Data for Climate Research complete time series Version 5.2

The Integrated Multi-Mission Ocean Altimeter Sea Surface Height (SSH) Version 5.2 dataset provides level 2 along track sea surface height anomalies (SSHA) from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-3, and Sentinel-6A missions geo-referenced to a mean reference orbit. It is produced by NASA Sea Surface Height (NASA-SSH) project investigators at Goddard Space Flight Center and Jet Propulsion Laboratory with support from NASA’s Physical Oceanography program, and was developed originally as an Earth System Data Record (ESDR) under the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program, which supported forward processing and incremental refinements through version 5.1 (released in April 2022).<br> Geophysical Data Records (GDRs) from each altimetry mission were interpolated to a common reference orbit with biases and cross-calibrations applied so that the derived SSHA are consistent between satellites to form a single homogeneous climate data record. The entire multi-mission data record covers the period from September 1992 to present; it is extended to include new observations approximately once each quarter. The previous release (version 5.1) integrated Jason-3 data and applied revised internal tides and pole tide across missions (GDR_F standard). The current release (version 5.2) includes the following revisions: a) GSFC std2006_cs21 orbit for all missions, b) GOT5.1 ocean tide model, c) TOPEX/Poseidon GDR_F data, d) Sentinel-6 LR version F08 data, e) Jason-3 re-calibrated radiometer wet troposphere correction. More information about the data content and derivation can be found in the v5.2 User’s Handbook (https://doi.org/10.5067/ALTUG-TJ152).<br> Please note that this collection is the same data as https://doi.org/10.5067/ALTCY-TJA52 but with all cycles included in one netCDF file.

Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) CPEX V1

The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) CPEX dataset includes measurements gathered by IMERG during the Convective Processes Experiment (CPEX) field campaign. IMERG combines precipitation estimates from multiple passive microwave (PMW) sensors available in a 30-minute analysis time. These estimates are retrieved using the Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm that converts PMW brightness temperatures to a precipitation estimate. The CPEX field campaign took place in the North Atlantic-Gulf of America-Caribbean Sea region and conducted a total of sixteen DC-8 missions. The CPEX campaign collected data to help explain convective storm initiation, organization, growth, and dissipation in the North Atlantic-Gulf of America-Caribbean Oceanic region during the early summer of 2017. IMERG combines information from the GPM satellite constellation to estimate precipitation over the majority of the Earth's surface. Data are available from May 24, 2017 through July 16, 2017 in netCDF-3 format.
