Ancillary Land and Ocean data

Two data sets for Ocean and Land have been released through the GES DISC, derived from MERRA, but not included in the original data collection. The ocean data has 1 hourly fluxes, meteorology and stresses over both open water and ice. the MERRA-Land data is an offline reprocessing using MERRA atmospheric forcing with bias corrected precipitation to produce a new set of surface fluxes and land states (Reichle et al. 2011).

See the release page for more information.
