AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The datasets on this page provide information on climate-related variables such as soil moisture, precipitation, and evapotranspiration.
-
These datasets are produced by NASA and include the FLDAS, GLDAS, MERRA-2, and SMAP missions.
-
GLDAS data is available in multiple versions (GLDAS-2.0, GLDAS-2.1, and GLDAS-2.2) with varying temporal coverage and forcing inputs.
-
SMAP data provides daily and 3-hourly soil moisture information, including surface and root zone measurements.

ECMWF Near-Realtime IFS Atmospheric Forecasts
This dataset contains 15-day forecasts of the atmospheric model variables generated by the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) at 0.25 degree resolution. We refer to these as Near-Realtime (NRT) because new products are released twice a day after the release of the ECMWF realtime forecast … climate dewpoint ecmwf forecast global humidity -
FLDAS: Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Land Data Assimilation System
The FLDAS dataset (McNally et al. 2017), was designed to assist with food security assessments in data-sparse, developing country settings. It includes information on many climate-related variables including moisture content, humidity, evapotranspiration, average soil temperature, total precipitation rate, etc. There are multiple different FLDAS datasets; … climate cryosphere evapotranspiration humidity ldas monthly -
GLDAS-2.1: Global Land Data Assimilation System
NASA Global Land Data Assimilation System Version 2 (GLDAS-2) has three components: GLDAS-2.0, GLDAS-2.1, and GLDAS-2.2.
