GLDAS-2.0 is forced entirely\nwith the Princeton meteorological forcing input data and provides a temporally\nconsistent series from 1948 through 2014. GLDAS-2.1 is forced with a combination\nof model and observation data from 2000 to present. GLDAS-2.2 product suites use\ndata assimilation (DA), whereas the GLDAS-2.0 and GLDAS-2.1 products are\n\"open-loop\" (i.e., no data assimilation). The choice of forcing data, as well as\nDA observation source, variable, and scheme, vary for different GLDAS-2.2\nproducts.GLDAS-2.2 is new to the GES DISC archive and currently includes a main\nproduct from CLSM-F2.5 with Data Assimilation for the Gravity Recovery and\nClimate Experiment (GRACE-DA) from February 2003 to present. The GLDAS-2.2\ndata are available in two production streams: main and Early, only main one\nis ingested.\n\nThe GLDAS-2.2 GRACE-DA product was simulated with Catchment-F2.5 in Land\nInformation System (LIS) Version 7. The data product contains 24 land\nsurface fields from February 1, 2003 to present.\n\nThe simulation started on February 1, 2003 using the conditions from the\nGLDAS-2.0 Daily Catchment model simulation, forced with the meteorological\nanalysis fields from the operational European Centre for Medium-Range\nWeather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecasting System. The total\nterrestrial water anomaly observation from GRACE satellite was assimilated\n(Li et al, 2019). Due to the data agreement with ECMWF, this GLDAS-2.2 daily\nproduct does not include the meteorological forcing fields.\n\nDocumentation:\n\n- [Readme](https://hydro1.gesdisc.eosdis.nasa.gov/data/GLDAS/GLDAS_CLSM025_DA1_D.2.2/doc/README_GLDAS2.pdf)\n\n- [How-to](https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/information/howto?tags=hydrology)\n\n- [GES DISC Hydrology Documentation](https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/information/documents?title=Hydrology%20Documentation)\n\nProvider's Note: the names with extension _tavg are variables\naveraged over the past 3-hours, the names with extension '_acc' are\nvariables accumulated over the past 3-hours, the names with extension\n'_inst' are instantaneous variables, and the names with '_f' are\nforcing variables.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n27830 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|---------------------|-----------|-------------|------------|------------|-----------------------------------|\n| `ACond_tavg` | m/s | 0.000379\\* | 5.99291\\* | meters | Aerodynamic conductance |\n| `AvgSurfT_tavg` | K | 179.818\\* | 324.265\\* | meters | Average surface skin temperature |\n| `CanopInt_tavg` | kg/m\\^2 | 0\\* | 1.57295\\* | meters | Plant canopy surface water |\n| `ECanop_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | -0.021881\\* | 5.3e-05\\* | meters | Canopy water evaporation |\n| `ESoil_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | -0.003637\\* | 0.001172\\* | meters | Direct evaporation from bare soil |\n| `EvapSnow_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | -0.021057\\* | 0.000728\\* | meters | Snow Evaporation |\n| `Evap_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | -0.02737\\* | 0.00121\\* | meters | Evapotranspiration |\n| `GWS_tavg` | mm | 77.0153\\* | 3599.01\\* | meters | Ground water storage |\n| `Lwnet_tavg` | W/m\\^2 | -221.308\\* | 490.842\\* | meters | Net long-wave radiation flux |\n| `Qg_tavg` | W/m\\^2 | -344.072\\* | 174.036\\* | meters | Heat flux |\n| `Qh_tavg` | W/m\\^2 | -2851.75\\* | 54076.7\\* | meters | Sensible heat net flux |\n| `Qle_tavg` | W/m\\^2 | -53856.6\\* | 2983.65\\* | meters | Latent heat net flux |\n| `Qsb_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | 0\\* | 0.000416\\* | meters | Baseflow-groundwater runoff |\n| `Qsm_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | 0\\* | 0.018311\\* | meters | Snow melt |\n| `Qs_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | 0\\* | 0.020244\\* | meters | Storm surface runoff |\n| `SnowDepth_tavg` | m | 0\\* | 8.57951\\* | meters | Snow depth |\n| `SnowT_tavg` | K | 179.818\\* | 324.265\\* | meters | Snow Surface temperature |\n| `SoilMoist_P_tavg` | kg/m\\^2 | 109.394\\* | 4049.02\\* | meters | Profile Soil moisture |\n| `SoilMoist_RZ_tavg` | kg/m\\^2 | 32.3665\\* | 478.397\\* | meters | Root Zone Soil moisture |\n| `SoilMoist_S_tavg` | kg/m\\^2 | 0.001389\\* | 9.56\\* | meters | Surface Soil moisture |\n| `SWE_tavg` | kg/m\\^2 | 0\\* | 3688.07\\* | meters | Snow depth water equivalent |\n| `Swnet_tavg` | W/m\\^2 | 0\\* | 421.784\\* | meters | Net short wave radiation flux |\n| `TVeg_tavg` | kg/m\\^2/s | -0.000371\\* | 0.001654\\* | meters | Transpiration |\n| `TWS_tavg` | mm | 109.394\\* | 5084.16\\* | meters | Terrestrial water storage |\n\n\\* estimated min or max value\n\n### Image Properties\n\n**Image Properties**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|------------|--------|-------------|\n| end_hour | DOUBLE | End hour |\n| start_hour | DOUBLE | Start hour |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nDistribution of data from the Goddard Earth Sciences\nData and Information Services Center (GES DISC) is funded by NASA's\nScience Mission Directorate (SMD).
