NLDAS Mosaic Land Surface Model L4 Monthly 0.125 x 0.125 degree V2.0 (NLDAS_MOS0125_M) at GES DISC

Description

This data set contains thirty-seven fields simulated from the Mosaic land-surface model (LSM) for Phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). The data are in 1/8th degree grid spacing and range from Jan 1979 to the present. The temporal resolution is monthly. The file format is netCDF (converted from the GRIB format). The NLDAS-2 monthly Mosaic model data, containing thirty-seven fields, were generated from the NLDAS-2 hourly Mosaic model data, as monthly accumulation for rainfall, snowfall, subsurface runoff, surface runoff, total evapotranspiration, and snow melt, and monthly average for other variables. Monthly period of each month is from 00Z at start of the month to 23:59Z at end of the month, except the first month (Jan. 1979) that starts from 00Z 02 Jan 1979. Details about the NLDAS-2 configuration of the Mosaic LSM can be found in Xia et al. (2012).
