MERRA Status and some images

Most of the MERRA analysis and results that have come along are intended for publication but not yet submitted. So, we are holding off posting them here until peer reviews are in. Quite a few are going to a special collection at the Journal of Climate (Deadline Oct 30). In addition, between the upcoming IESA workshop in Baltimore (Nov 1-3), AGU Fall Meeting and AMS Annual Meeting, there are a lot of interesting abstract and work to write on. So, expect more posts on the science being done with MERRA in the coming months.

The system continues at about 2 months behind present time available for download.

Here are some nice trajectory images and animations produced at the Scientific Visualization Studio, and written up for the Earth Observatory Image of the day.
