The GrADS Data Server (GDS, formerly known as GrADS-DODS Server) is a stable, secure data server that provides subsetting and analysis services across the internet. The core of the GDS is OPeNDAP (also known as DODS), a software framework used for data networking that makes local data accessible to remote locations.
North America Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2 (NLDAS-2) Products
NLDAS-2 products are a 30-year data set (1979-present, in near real-time) of hourly 1/8° surface meteorology and hydrology data over the continuous United States and parts of Canada and Mexico. NLDAS combines observations from many different sources (rain gauges, radar, satellite, model reanalysis) to generate a surface forcing dataset, which is used to drive several different land-surface models.
Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) Gridded Data
GLDAS is
generating a series of land surface state and flux products
simulated by four land surface models (CLM, Mosaic, Noah and VIC). Current products include a set of 1.0 degree resolution data products from the
four models (1979 to present) and a 0.25 degree data product from the Noah
model (2000 to present).
