This dataset contains gridded daily Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) derived from the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Surface Reflectance. The data record spans from 1981 to 10 days before the present using data from eight NOAA polar orbiting satellites: NOAA-7, -9, -11, -14, -16, -17, -18 and -19. The data are projected on a 0.05 degree x 0.05 degree global grid.

The Blended Global Biomass Burning Emissions Product version 3 (GBBEPx V3) system produces global biomass burning emissions. The product contains daily global biomass burning emissions (PM2.5, BC, CO, CO2, OC, and SO2) blended fire observations from MODIS Quick Fire Emission Dataset (QFED), VIIRS (NPP and JPSS-1) fire emissions, and Global Biomass Burning Emission Product from Geostationary satellites (GBBEP-Geo), which are in a grid cell of 0.25 × 0.3125 degree and 0.1 x 0.1 degree. It also produces hourly emissions from geostationary satellites, which is at individual fire pixels.

The Ozone and Water Vapor Group is part of NOAA's Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) in Boulder, CO. The Ozone Water Vapor Group conducts research on the nature and causes of the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer and the role of stratospheric and tropospheric ozone and water vapor in forcing climate change and in modifying the chemical cleaning capacity of the atmosphere. This is accomplished through long-term observations and intensive field programs that measure ozone and water vapor levels in the upper troposphere and stratosphere.

The Global Radiation and Aerosol (GRAD) Group is part of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) in Boulder, CO. The GRAD Group is involved in observational and theoretical research of the Earth's surface and atmospheric radiation budgets. The group specializes in the investigation of climatically significant variations in long-term radiation and meteorological measurements made at diverse globally-remote sites and continental US sites.

This dataset from Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) consists of satellite swath-level brightness temperatures from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS). SSMIS measures the natural microwave emission coming from the Earth’s surface in the spectral band from 19 to 85 GHz. There are roughly 15 orbits per day per satillite with a swath width of approximately 1400 km resulting in nearly global daily coverage. SSMIS onboard the DMSP F18 satellite is the first instrument that has been calibrated to the RSS Version 8 standard.

The data collection deals with the optical data (i.e., video and still imagery) collected by natural light stereo cameras mounted on a MOdular Underwater Sampling System (MOUSS). The data collection consists of natively collected still images (5 frames per second) as well as the full length video and video segments that were created from original still images. Video annotations exist for the video segments; annotations are currently housed within a spreadsheet. The purpose was to execute a testbed study designed to evaluate the performance of transitional advanced technologies.

This data collection consists of archived Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 0 data from the GOES-East and GOES-West satellites in the operational (OPS) and the post-launch test (PLT) phases. The GOES-R Series provides continuity of the GOES mission through 2035 and improvements in geostationary satellite observational data. GOES-16, the first GOES-R satellite, began operating as GOES-East on December 18, 2017. GOES-17 began operating as GOES-West on February 12, 2019.

The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Fog/Low Stratus (FLS) products contain estimates of low cloud/fog thickness and probabilities of reduced aviation visibility for Marginal Visual Flight Rules, Instrument Flight Rules, and Low Instrument Flight Rules from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument. Also, the FLS probability products include information when higher clouds mask the satellite view of low clouds, and screens out regions of elevated stratus to highlight areas where the cloud ceiling likely meets the categorical thresholds.

The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Cloud Cover Layers (CCL) product contains estimates of cloud fraction between predefined atmospheric levels, as well as, the total cloud fraction at a specified spatial resolution. There are five flight levels of cloud fractions classified as low, middle, and high clouds. The 5 layers defined in feet are: surface to 5000, 5000 to 10000, 10000 to 18000, 18000 to 24000, and 24000 to top of the atmosphere. The horizontal spatial resolution of the products are 10km for full disk and CONUS, and 4km for mesoscale.
