MODIS Terra Level 3 SST Thermal IR Daily 9km Nighttime V2019.0

Day and night spatially gridded (L3) global NASA skin sea surface temperature (SST) products from the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra satellite. Average daily, weekly (8 day), monthly and annual skin SST products are available at both 4.63 and 9.26 km spatial resolution. Terra was launched by NASA on December 18, 1999, into a sun synchronous, polar orbit with a daylight descending node at 10:30 am, to study the global dynamics of the Earth atmosphere, land and oceans. The MODIS captures data in 36 spectral bands at a variety of spatial resolutions. Two SST products can be present in these files. The first is a skin SST produced for both day and night observations, derived from the long wave IR 11 and 12 micron wavelength channels, using a modified nonlinear SST algorithm intended to provide continuity with SST derived from heritage and current NASA sensors. At night, a second SST product is produced using the mid-infrared 3.95 and 4.05 micron channels which are unique to MODIS; the SST derived from these measurements is identified as SST4. The SST4 product has lower uncertainty, but due to sun glint can only be produced at night. To generate the L3 products the L2 pixels are binned into an integerized sinusoidal area grid (ISEAG) and mapped into an equidistant cylindrical (also known as Platte Carre) projection. Additional projection detailed can be found at https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/format/ The NASA MODIS L3 SST data products are generated by the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) Peter Minnett and his team at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) are responsible for sea surface temperature algorithm development, error statistics and quality flagging. JPL acquires and distributes MODIS ocean L3 SST data from the OBPG as the official Physical Oceanography Data Archive (PO.DAAC) for SST. The R2019 superseded the previous v2014.1 datasets which can be found at https://doi.org/10.5067/MODST-1D9N4

NASA Water Vapor Project MEaSUREs (NVAP-M) OCEAN Total Precipitable Water

NVAP_OCEAN_Total-Precipitable-Water data set includes only data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and intends to mirror other available SSM/I-only water vapor data sets. The data set is used for studies of climate change, interannual variability, and independent comparison to other ocean-only data sets. The new NASA Water Vapor Project (NVAP) data sets are produced under the NASA Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) program and is named NVAP-M. It supersedes the previous NVAP data set. NVAP-M continues the legacy of providing high-quality, model-independent global estimates of total column and layered water vapor. The use of improved, intercalibrated data sets and algorithms that were not available for the heritage NVAP data set results in an improved and extended water vapor data set that is stable enough for climate research and of a resolution appropriate for studies on smaller spatial and temporal scales. The true value of NVAP-M will be seen in outcomes from applied and research users of the data set in various fields. Some initial NVAP-M findings are presented in Vonder Haar et al. (2012). In addition to the time-dependent artifacts present in the previous NVAP data set, a wealth of new data has become available since the last NVAP processing in 2003. These include an additional SSM/I instrument, additional NOAA satellites, the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS)-Aqua Satellite, which carries the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), as well as water vapor information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. This extension and reprocessing effort increases the temporal coverage from 14 to 22 (1988-2009) years, making the data set more useful and consistent for investigation of the long-term trends which are hypothesized to occur as Earth warms. In addition to the long-standing daily, 1-degree gridded Total Precipitable Water (TPW) and layered Precipitable Water (PW) products, NVAP-M includes additional products geared towards different scientific needs. Three separate processing streams produced products directed towards specific research goals. These are NVAP-M Climate, designed to provide the most stable water vapor data set over time for use in climate applications, and NVAP-M Weather, designed to provide higher spatial and temporal resolution products for use in studies on shorter time scales as well as weather case studies. Additionally, an ocean-only (NVAP-M Ocean) version includes only data from the SSM/I and is intended to mirror other available SSM/I-only water vapor data sets.

NASA-SSH ENSO Sea Surface Height Indicator

This file contains an indicator for the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), based on satellite observations of sea surface height anomaly, measured by radar altimeter missions such as TOPEX/Poseidon, the Jason series, and Sentinel-6. The indicator values were calculated using NASA-SSH Simple Gridded Sea Surface Height from Standardized Reference Missions Only Version 1 https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/NASA_SSH_REF_SIMPLE_GRID_V1 . <br><br> Indicator values were calculated using cyclostationary empirical orthogonal functions (CSEOFs; Kim et al., 2015) computed by decomposing the gridded sea surface height anomalies over the time period from 1993 to 2019. After removing the linear trend from each individual gridded location, three sets of regional CSEOFs were generated, one each for ENSO, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and Indian Ocean Diode (IOD). In each case, the dominant statistical mode represents the seasonal cycle. The second most dominant mode represents the variability explained by each respective indicator and is referred to as the “indicator mode”. The seasonal mode and indicator mode are then projected onto the along-track sea surface height anomalies to produce the indicator time series through the most current date. In this case, the ENSO mode was used to produce the time series contained in this file.<br><br> The file with the filename "NASA_SSH_ENSO_INDICATOR.txt" is always the most up-to-date time series containing the most recent data.

NASMo-TiAM 250m 16-day North America Surface Soil Moisture Dataset

This NASMo-TiAM (North America Soil Moisture Dataset Derived from Time-Specific Adaptable Machine Learning Models) dataset holds gridded estimates of surface soil moisture (0-5 cm depth) at a spatial resolution of 250 meters over 16-day intervals from mid-2002 to December 2020 for North America. The model employed Random Forests to downscale coarse-resolution soil moisture estimates (0.25 deg) from the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) based on their correlation with a set of static (terrain parameters, bulk density) and dynamic covariates (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, land surface temperature). NASMo-TiAM 250m predictions were evaluated through cross-validation with ESA CCI reference data and independent ground-truth validation using North American Soil Moisture Database (NASMD) records. The data are provided in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format.
