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. GLDAS-2.0 is forced entirely with the Princeton meteorological forcing input data and provides a temporally consistent series from 1948 through 2014. GLDAS-2.1 is forced with a combination of model … 3-hourly climate cryosphere evaporation forcing geophysical -
