Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) 2.5 Degree

The Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) is a weather forecast model made up of 21 separate forecasts, or ensemble members. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) started the GEFS to address the nature of uncertainty in weather observations, which are used to initialize weather forecast models. The proverbial butterfly flapping her wings can have a cascading effect leading to wind gusts thousands of miles away. This extreme example illustrates that tiny, unnoticeable differences between reality and what is actually measured can, over time, lead to noticeable differences between what a weather model forecast predicts and reality itself. The GEFS attempts to quantify the amount of uncertainty in a forecast by generating an ensemble of multiple forecasts, each minutely different, or perturbed, from the original observations. With global coverage, GEFS is produced four times a day with weather forecasts going out to 16 days and a 6 hour temporal resolution. This dataset has 2.5 degree horizontal resolution.

United States Climate Reference Network (USCRN) Raw Data Transmitted from Satellite

USCRN Raw Transmitted Data is level 0 data received from the USCRN stations that are transmitted continuously. The data values are ingested with a unique 18-bit format due to satellite transmission limitations (documentation will be archived along with data); code is also included to read the bit format and parse out values for a stream. As of 2017, there are 26 possible stream format versions over the history of the USCRN network; format versions are dependent on hardware/software upgrades to the USCRN network and may increase over time. The data stream includes observations taken by USCRN stations for temperature, precipitation, etc., but users are encouraged to use downstream, processed versions of the data, due to the complexity of reading the satellite-encoded format (see documentation for more information).

As of 2017, data are ingested via various mechanisms, including: an LRGS receiver connected to the NOAA and EDDN satellite networks, a domestic communications satellite (DOMSAT) receiver located at NCEI, and parsed data from NOAAPort. Numerous data files from different sources (usually with a distinct filenaming convention based on source) are collected throughout the month and are separated into subdirectories based on the date of ingest into the CRN database. Files from all sources and all days for the month are packaged together into a monthly archive file.

NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of AVHRR Daily and Monthly Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) over Global Oceans, Version 4.0

The product is the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 0.63 micron, which is retrieved from NOAA PATMOS-x AVHRR+HIRS level-2B orbital radiance and cloud CDR products. The retrieval is performed for selected spatial (0.1 by 0.1 degree) and temporal (1 time per day per satellite) resolution in cloud free conditions during daytime. The final product is daily averaged from all satellite retrievals and in a 0.1 by 0.1 degree equal angle grid (total 1800x3600 grids over the globe). Due to the relatively large uncertainties associated with surface reflectance over water glint area and land surface as well as limited AVHRR retrieval channels, the current algorithm only performs retrieval over none-glint water surface (specifically at the anti-solar side of the orbit and viewing angle is larger than 40 degree away from the specular ray). The final CDR AOT products include daily and monthly products.

Gridded Satellite GOES (GridSat-GOES) East and West Full Disk and CONUS Coverage, Version 1

The National Centers for Environmental Information in partnership with the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites - North Carolina is reprocessing the GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Variable (GVAR) period of record: 1994-2015. GridSat GOES represents a reformatted, remapped and calibrated GOES brightness temperatures and reflectance provided in Climate and Forecasting (CF)-compliant netCDF format. This is similar to the current GridSat-B1 CDR, but at a higher spatial and temporal resolution. The data are provided near the original spatial resolution of the infrared channels (4 km) on an equal angle grid (0.04 degrees). Data are mapped to a region spanning the view of GOES East and West (150 deg East to 5 deg East). The data are provided hourly, with all data mapping to the nearest hour. Currently, the data are limited to variables including the observations from the GOES satellites: 5 total channels. However, future efforts are planned to include some basic cloud information (cloud probability, temperature, etc.). Other possible updates include: improved coverage by expanding the GOES inventory (currently, gaps exist in the CLASS archive) and expand to the predecessor to the GOES Imager: GOES VISSR, which would expand coverage back to the 1980s.

Snowstorm Database

The Snowstorm Database is a collection of over 500 snowstorms dating back to 1900 and updated operationally. Only storms having large areas of heavy snowfall (10-20 inches or greater) are included. The spatial extent includes the contiguous U.S. but the most storms are in the eastern two thirds of the U.S. This is the only comprehensive data set with starting and ending dates along with daily and total storm snowfall for large snowstorms from 1900 to the present. The data is archived in shapefile format, one shapefile per storm. Shapefiles are a non-proprietary spatial format widely used in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Each shapefile contains daily and storm total snowfall for weather stations that were affected by the snowstorm. The snowfall data comes from the Global Historical Climatological Network - Daily (GHCN-D).

Oregon Crest-to-Coast Environmental Monitoring Transect Dataset, including climatic observations and tree growth data

The US Environmental Protection Agency - Western Ecology Division (EPA) has been monitoring above- and belowground climate data from 23 locations along an Oregon Cascade Mountain Crest-to-Coast transect since 1993. The start date for the sites varied over a several year period. The monitoring sites were located in old-growth and non old-growth coniferous forests (douglas fir, sitka spruce, alder, juniper, ponderosa pine), adjacent clear-cuts, and top of canopy locations. The following variables have been measured every 5-minutes with hourly averages/totals computed for each location: air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), soil temperature (multiple depths), snow depth (where applicable) and volumetric soil moisture (multiple depths). In addition, wind speed, wind direction, shortwave radiation, and barometric pressure were measured at numerous field site locations. Data are provided as unprocessed raw observations; though some minimal "quality assurance" may have been applied to ensure that data contains "reasonable" values and does not exceed expected calibration thresholds.
            
            In March 2019, incremental tree growth data (stem circumference measurements) was also submitted to the archive as additional data showing environmental conditions in the observation area. Period of record is 1997 to the present.
