NASA HRAC Project

This is a dataset that enhances the TMPA monthly product (3B43) in its accuracy and spatial resolution, in hydrometeorological applications. About 9,200 gauge measurement are used to compare with the 3B43 product at 0.25° x 0.25° spatial resolution across the CONUS. Observed is a strong relationship between the bias and land surface elevation, in which 3B43 underestimates the true precipitation at the elevations above 1,500 m amsl. Satellite data is resampled to elevation data at ~1km grid size and applied a correction function to reduce bias in the data. Accordingly, a High-Resolution Altitude-Corrected product is constructed,...

Satellite data is resampled to elevation data at ~1km grid size and applied a correction function to reduce bias in the data. Accordingly, a High-Resolution Altitude-Corrected product is constructed, based on 3B43 and covering the entire CONUS at 1-km resolution. This product is verified against 9,200 gauges across the country. The results showed a substantial improvement in the satellite-gauge data accuracy as well as spatial resolution.

(EXPERIMENTAL) NOAA FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)

The FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) is an experimental system set up by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) to produce medium range global forecasts. The model runs on a 0.25 degree latitude-longitude grid (about 28 km) and 13 pressure levels. The model produces forecasts 4 times a day at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18Z cycles. Major atmospheric and surface fields including temperature, wind components, geopotential height, relative humidity and 2 meter temperature and 10 meter winds are available. The products are 6 hourly forecasts up to 10 days. The data format is GRIB2. The FourCastNetGFS...

10m Annual Land Use Land Cover (9-class)

This dataset, produced by Impact Observatory, Microsoft, and Esri, displays a global map of land use and land cover (LULC) derived from ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 meter resolution for the years 2017 - 2024. Each map is a composite of LULC predictions for 9 classes throughout the year in order to generate a representative snapshot of each year. This dataset was generated by Impact Observatory, which used billions of human-labeled pixels (curated by the National Geographic Society) to train a deep learning model for land classification. Each global map was produced by applying this model to the Sentinel-2 annual scene...
