Lucas and Waliser Satellite ECT Corrected Daily, Pentad and Monthly Global OLR Datasets

This dataset contains daily, pentad and monthly OLR data in which the bias from varying satellite equatorial crossing times (ECTs) has been estimated and then removed. This was done by starting with the twice daily 2.5 degree NCEP/NOAA OLR archive for 1974 through 1999. The ECT biases caused by afternoon satellite orbital drift AND the abrupt transition from a morning satellite to an afternoon satellite were estimated separately and then these estimates were removed.
