Description:
Climate variations on seasonal-to-decadal (S2D) timescales can have enormous social, economic, and environmental impacts, making skillful predictions on these time scales an invaluable tool for policymakers and stakeholders. Such variations modulate the likelihood and intensity of extreme weather events including, tropical cyclones (TCs), heat waves, winter storms, atmospheric rivers (ARs), and floods, which have all been associated with (1) increases in human morbidity and mortality rates; (2)…
Dataset ID: d651029
netCDF
Description:
A broad group of US and international partners organized and agreed to have ECMWF compute a high resolution global gridded dataset that serves as a reference dataset for general and collaborative observing system simulation experiments (OSSE). This model output is termed "Nature Run", because it is intended to be a best representation possible of the true environmental conditions. The temporal and spatial resolution are sufficient so the data may be used as an experimental samples and v…
Dataset ID: d621000
WMO_GRIB1
Description:
From Copernicus Marine Services The GLORYS12V1 product is the CMEMS global ocean eddy-resolving (1/12 degree horizontal resolution, 50 vertical levels) reanalysis covering the altimetry (1993 onward). It is based largely on the current real-time global forecasting CMEMS system. The model component is the NEMO platform driven at surface by ECMWF ERA-Interim then ERA5 reanalyses for recent years. Observations are assimilated by means of a reduced-order Kalman filter. Along track altimeter data (S…
Dataset ID: d010049
netCDF4
Description:
This data is obtained from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). "Information contained in this monthly data file are primarily those from the cooperative network, augmented by observations from principal climatological stations operated by the National Weather Service and other sites having highly trained observers."
Dataset ID: d560000
NCDC_TD3220
Description:
The CESM2 Large Ensemble consists of 100 members at 1 degree spatial resolution covering the period 1850-2100 under CMIP6 historical and SSP370 future radiative forcing scenarios. Two separate sets of biomass burning emissions forcing files were used within the ensemble. Members 1-50 were forced with CMIP6 protocols identical to those used in Danabasoglu et al. (2020) in the paper for CESM2. For members 51-100, the most relevant species for biomass burning fluxes from the CMIP6 protocols were s…

Dataset ID: d789430
proprietary_ASCII
Description:
This dataset contains supplementary output grids from the ECMWF operational model. These grids are on a gaussian grid (N80) with approximately a 1.125 degree resolution.
Dataset ID: d111003
WMO_GRIB0 WMO_GRIB1
Description:
Goals: Observing OH-initiated m-xylene reactions under SOA surrogate and NOx environment. Summary: targets: 1.1 ppmC SOA surrogate + 1 ppmC H2O2 + 25 ppb NOx + 250 ppb m-xylene (A) Instruments: GC1 + SMPS + AMS + VTDMA + SIFT Organization: UCR-CECERT-APL-Cocker Group Lab Affiliation: University of California, Riverside, CE-CERT Chamber: EPA chamber Experiment Category: Photolysis, any phase Oxidant: Hydroxyl radical Reactants: SOA surrogate, NOx, H2O2, m-xylene Reaction Type: Photooxidation Rel…
Dataset ID: d789479
proprietary_ASCII
Description:
The dataset includes post-processed model outputs from global simulations using the MPAS-A version 7.1. The model was initialized using both ECMWF Integrated Forecast System (IFS) and NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) on September 8, 2006 and integrated for 5 days and 6 hours to hindcast the evolution and tropical cyclogenesis of the African easterly wave that became Hurricane Helene in 2006. The dataset can be used to study this specific AEW case and other easterly waves and tropical systems t…
Dataset ID: d583135
HDF5/NetCDF4
For ancillary use only - not recommended as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by newer and better datasets.
Description:
Earlier grids DSS received "stand alone," later grids were extracted by DSS from the "full stack" of grids in DS240.1 Unless you have a special interest in this dataset, DSS recommends that you use one of our reanalysis datasets, such as ds090.0. That's because those are based on a more complete collection of observations, improved analysis methods, and are provided in a common modern format (GRIB).

There are 1604 public datasets in the RDA. The RDA dataset search allows you to search for datasets by keyword and filter by facets. Facet descriptions are given below, including the number of datasets (in parentheses) in each.

Keywords (1604)
Keywords are high-level groupings of parameters describing a topic or subtopic - e.g. Atmosphere (topic), Clouds (subtopic of Atmosphere).
Variable (1604)
A variable or parameter is the quantity that is measured, derived, or computed - e.g. the data value.
Platform (1604)
The platform is the entity or type of entity that acquired or computed the data (e.g. aircraft, land station, reanalysis model).
Spatial Resolution (372)
This refers to the horizontal distance between discrete gridpoints of a model product, reporting stations in a network, measurements of a moving platform, etc.
Time Resolution (243)
This refers to the distance in time between discrete observation measurements, model product valid times, etc.
Data Format (1602)
This refers to the structure of the bitstream used to encapsulate the data values in a record or file - e.g ASCII, netCDF, etc.
Data Type (1604)
This refers to the type of data values - e.g. grid (interpolated or computed gridpoint data), platform observation (in-situ and remotely sensed measurements), etc.
Project / Experiment (879)
This is the scientific project, field campaign, or experiment that acquired the data.
Supports Project (51)
This refers to data that were acquired to support a scientific project or experiment (e.g. GATE) or that can be used as ingest for a project (e.g. WRF).
Location (113)
This is the name of the (usually geographic) location or region for which the data are valid.
