Waliser and Zhou Satellite Equatorial Crossing Time-Corrected Monthly Tropical OLR and HRC Datasets
d684000
This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.
Abstract:
Gridded analyses of OLR (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) and HRC (Highly Reflective Cloud) anomalies wherein the bias due to changing equatorial crossing times has been estimated and removed. The OLR data is available for 30N to 30S and the HRC is available for 24N to 24S. This dataset also contains long term monthly climatologies for both OLR and HRC.
Note that this dataset is obsolete and users should use dataset ds684.1 instead.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
