4 FAQs about [Nasa surface meteorology and solar energy database]
What data is contained in the first release of solar and meteorological data?
The solar and meteorological data contained in this first release was based on the 1993 NASA /World Climate Research Program Version 1.1 Surface Radiation Budget (SRB) science data and TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP).
What is power solar data based on?
The POWER solar data is based upon satellite observations from which surface insolation values are inferred. The meteorological parameters are based upon the MERRA-2 assimilation model. This section provides a summary of the estimated uncertainty associated with the data underlying the solar and meteorological parameters available through POWER.
Where can I find Earth Observing System data?
Many of these data are available through NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) and are distributed through NASA's Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) and Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC). In addition, near real-time data also are available.
When did meteorology start?
The daily time-series now spans 40 years for meteorology available from 1981 and solar-based parameters start in 1984. The hourly source data are from Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) and Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), spanning 20 years from 2001.
