Tutorial Datasets

These data are regional and part of the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Level 3 Collated (L3C) dataset covering the America Region based on retrievals from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16).

This data product is a long-term Climate Data Record (1981–present) that builds on the historic aspect of Pathfinder Sea Surface Temperature (SST) (Saha et. al 2018). It contains global, twice-daily (Day and Night) 4km SST derived from measurements captured by Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instruments aboard NOAA polar-orbiting satellites.

The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), will monitor one of the most basic processes in living plants: the loss of water through the tiny pores in leaves. When people lose water through their pores, the process is called sweating. The related process in plants is known as transpiration. Because water that evaporates from soil around plants also affects the amount of water that plants can use, ECOSTRESS will measure combined evaporation and transpiration, known as evapotranspiration (ET). ECOSTRESS will address 3 science questions:

NASA Daymet Version 4 R1 data are gridded estimates of daily weather parameters for North America, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Daymet variables include the following parameters: minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation, shortwave radiation, vapor pressure, snow water equivalent, and day length.
