Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) L4 Carbon Ancillary Surface Meteorological Forcing Data V001

Published by NASA NSIDC DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: June 28, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-31

This ancillary SMAP product contains dynamic surface meteorological forcing data. The meteorological model is derived from the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) data set and used as an input in the SMAP L4 Carbon algorithm. The forcing data is processed from hourly GEOS-5 files into daily values. Daily files are processed every eight days.
