IMPORTANT MESSAGE May 05, 2012    GLDAS-1 January - April 2012 data avaiable now, but please use the data cautiously    

The GLDAS-1 products have been processed for January through April 2012. The observation based precipitation and radiation data sets were unavailable, so they were forced with the model based data set only (i.e. GDAS only, no AGRMET and CMAP data). We expect to re-process all 2012 data once the observation based data sets become available in June. Please use these data cautiously as they may display some differences and check back to download re-processed data next month.
