IRI Data Library What's New

CPC GHCN-CAMS global monthly gridded land-only surface air temperature

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:11:53 GMT

The Climate Prediction Center's GHCN-CAMS global monthly gridded (0.5 degree lat./lon. resolution) land-only surface air temperature data set has been added. It includes monthly surface air temperature data from January 1948 to the present and is updated in real time. This product is an analysis based upon station data from both the Global Historical Climatology Network version 2 (GHCN) and the Climate Anomaly Monitoring System (CAMS).

NASA GPCP Version 2.1 monthly precipitation dataset has been added

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:43:13 GMT

The latest version (version 2.1) of NASA's Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) monthly precipitation data set has been added to the Data Library. The product includes multiple estimated precipitation variables and error estimates derived from various combinations of IR and microwave satellite and gauge observations. The satellite-gauge product is updated from time to time with more recent observations.

average now has a /keepgrids option

The average operator normally removes each independent variable that is averaged over, so that, for example, a mean can easily be removed from an entire time series. But there is now a /keepgrids option, which keeps the independent variable as a single point grid. This is most useful for downloading to software that insists on a time grid.
