HDISC: HYDROLOGY DATA AND INFORMATION SERVICES CENTER

warn_icon.gif IMPORTANT MESSAGE Sep 08, 2011    NLDAS hourly, GLDAS 3-hourly, and GLDAS Version 2 data now accessible via Giovanni   

To further facilitate access and use of NLDAS and GLDAS data, two new Giovanni portals, for NLDAS hourly data and GLDAS 3-hourly data, have recently been released.  Also, GLDAS Version 2 data has been added to the Giovanni GLDAS Monthly portal. These new and updated Giovanni portals provide a simple and intuitive way to visualize, analyze, and inter-compare NLDAS and GLDAS data without having to download the data.

Supporting the Hydrological Sciences Branch (HSB)

The Hydrology DISC supports data products generated by GSFC's Hydrological Sciences Branch. Data products from the North America Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) and the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) can  be accessed through anonymous ftp, the Mirador search and access tool or the GrADS Data Server (GDS). NLDAS and GLDAS systems integrate data from multiple space-based Earth observing systems using advanced land surface modeling and assimilation techniques. These products support weather and climate forecast experiments, water resources applications, and water and energy cycle research.

The data are provisional and subject to change as model improvements are implemented and new input data sets become available.

Other atmospheric moisture and precipitation products are available from the AIRS and Precipitation Data and Information Services Centers.
