Waliser and Zhou Satellite Equatorial Crossing Time-Corrected Monthly Tropical OLR and HRC Datasets

Gridded analyses of OLR (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) and HRC (Highly Reflective Cloud) anomalies wherein the bias due to changing equatorial crossing times has been estimated and removed. The OLR data is available for 30N to 30S and the HRC is available for 24N to 24S. This dataset also contains long term monthly climatologies for both OLR and HRC.

Note that this dataset is obsolete and users should use dataset ds684.1 instead.
