NLDAS VIC Land Surface Model L4 Monthly Climatology 0.125 x 0.125 degree V002
nasa-test-0.demo.socrata.com | Last Updated 2015-07-19T08:29:26.000ZAbstract: This data set contains a series of land surface parameters simulated from the VIC 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. The temporal resolution is monthly, ranging from January to December. The file format is WMO GRIB-1. The NLDAS-2 monthly climatology data are the monthly data averaged over the thirty years (1980-2009) of the NLDAS-2 monthly data. Brief description about the NLDAS-2 hourly and monthly VIC LSM data can be found from the GCMD DIFs for GES_DISC_NLDAS_VIC0125_H_V002 and GES_DISC_NLDAS_VIC0125_M_V002 at http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/getdif.htm?GES_DISC_NLDAS_VIC0125_H_V002 and http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/getdif.htm?GES_DISC_NLDAS_VIC0125_M_V002. Details about the NLDAS-2 configuration of the VIC LSM can be found in Xia et al. (2012). The version of the VIC model for the NLDAS-2 VIC data available from the NASA GES DISC is VIC-4.0.3; this version of the VIC model is the same as used in Sheffield et al. (2003). The NLDAS-2 VIC monthly climatology data contain forty-three fields. The data set applies a user-defined parameter table to indicate the contents and parameter number. The GRIBTAB file (http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/hydrology/grib_tabs/gribtab_NLDAS_VIC.002.txt) shows a list of parameters for this data set, along with their Product Definition Section (PDS) IDs and units. For information about the vertical layers of the Soil Moisture Content (PDS 086), Soil Temperature (PDS 085), and Liquid Soil Moisture Content (PDS 151), please see the README Document at ftp://hydro1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/s4pa/NLDAS/README.NLDAS2.pdf or the GrADS ctl file at ftp://hydro1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/gds/NLDAS/NLDAS_VIC0125_MC.002.ctl.

SBUV2/NOAA-11 Ozone (O3) Profile and Total Column Ozone Monthly L3 Global 5.0deg Lat Zones V1
nasa-test-0.demo.socrata.com | Last Updated 2015-07-20T04:54:41.000ZThe Solar Backscattered Ultra Violet (SBUV) from NOAA-11 Level-3 monthly zonal mean (MZM) product (SBUV2N11L3zm) is derived from the Level-2 retrieved ozone profiles. Ozone retrievals are generated from the v8.6 SBUV algorithm. A Level-3 MZM file computes zonal means covering 5 degree latitude bands for each calendar month. For this product there are 147 months of data from January 1989 through March 2001. There are a total of 36 latitudinal bands, 18 in each hemisphere. Profile data are provided at 21 layers from 1013.25, 639.318, 403.382,254.517, 160.589, 101.325,63.9317, 40.3382, 25.4517, 16.0589, 10.1325, 6.39317,4.03382, 2.54517, 1.60589, 1.01325,0.639317, 0.403382, 0.254517, 0.160589 and 0.101325 hPa (measured at bottom of layer). NOTE: Some profiles have 20 layers and do not report the top most layer. Mixing ratios are reported at 15 layers from 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0 and 50.0 hPa (measured at middle of layer). The MZM product averages retrievals that meet the criteria for a good retrieval as determined by error flags in the Level 2 data. A good retrieval is defined as satisfying the following conditions: 1) Profile Error Flag = 0 or 1 (0 = good retrieval; 1 = solar zenith angle > 84 deg.) 2) Total Error Flags = 0, 1, 2 or 5 (0 = good retrieval; 1 = not used; 2 = solar zenith angle > 84 deg; large discrepancy between profile total and best total ozone) NOTE - Total error flag = 5 is anomalously applied at high latitudes and high solar zenith angle where B-Pair total ozone estimate is not as reliable as profile under these conditions. This error flag may be removed in future version of algorithm. The zonal means computed for each month are screened according to the following statistical criteria: 1) number of good retrievals for the month greater than or equal to 2/3 of the samples for a nominal month. 2) mean latitude of good retrievals less than or equal to 1 degree from center of latitude band. 3) mean time of good retrievals less than or equal to 4 days from center of month (i.e., day = 15)

GPM, DPR, GMI Level 3 Combined Precipitation V03
nasa-test-0.demo.socrata.com | Last Updated 2015-07-20T05:03:54.000ZThere are uncertainties in the interpretation of data from any one of the instruments (KuPR, KaPR, and GMI). By using data from multiple instruments, further constraints on the solution of precipitation structure improve the final product.The purpose of 3CMB is to give a daily and monthly accumulation of the 2BCMB precipitation product. The 3CMB product is a daily and monthly accumulation of the 2BCMB orbital combined product at two grid sizes, 5 x 5 degrees (G1) and 0.25 x 0.25 degrees (G2). Grid G1 contains the following physical measurements of general interest, among others. Grid G2 contains the same groups, but it is on the ltH x lnH grid and does not have the surface type (st) dimension or the histograms (see dimension definitions below). Below, conditional products represent means based upon precipitating areas only; unconditional products represent means for raining and non-raining areas combined. Probabilities represent the number of raining observations divided by the total number of raining and non-raining observations. precipTotRate (Group in G1)- Conditional mean rate for all precipitation phases (ice, liquid, mixed-phase). * count (4-byte integer, array size: ltL x lnL x ns x hgt x rt x st): Count. * mean (4-byte float, array size: ltL x lnL x ns x hgt x rt x st): Mean, mm/h. * stdev (4-byte float, array size: ltL x lnL x ns x hgt x rt x st): Standard deviation for the monthly product.

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 WMO GRIB-1. The NLDAS-2 monthly Noah model data were generated from the NLDAS-2 hourly Noah model data, as monthly accumulation for rainfall, snowfall, subsurface runoff, surface runoff, total evapotranspiration, and snow melt, and monthly average for other variables.

Deep Ultraviolet Macroporous Silicon Filters Project
nasa-test-0.demo.socrata.com | Last Updated 2015-07-20T05:30:51.000ZThis SBIR Phase I proposal describes a novel method to make deep and far UV optical filters from macroporous silicon. This type of filter consists of an array of parallel, independent leaky waveguides made in the form of a free-standing, two-dimensionally ordered silicon structure with pore walls coated by a dielectric multilayer. The proposed filters offer unmatched levels of rejection within a very wide rejection band combined with a high level of transmission within the pass band that can be centered throughout the deep and far UV range. In addition, unlike common interference-based filters, the spectral position of the pass and rejection bands will not depend on the angle of incidence. The proposed filters will be light weight and may be manufactured cost-effectively in large quantities. In Phase I, it is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of the method by fabricating pore structures with different pore wall coatings and measuring the transmission and other optical properties. In Phase II, optimized filters will be fabricated and their properties compared with design predictions. Phase III will involve product design, fabricating filter structures to meet customers' physical as well as optical needs, and marketing and sales investments.
