The ERA-Interim reanalysis data have led to improvements in precipitation and wind speed data while the changes in the aerosol corrections have improved the downward shortwave fluxes. The WFDEI will allow more detailed comparisons of hydrological and Earth System model outputs with relevant satellite products than using the WFD. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral Forcing-LSM > Forcing data for Land Surface Model U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SURFACE PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION > SOLAR RADIATION EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR INDICATORS > HUMIDITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION > PRECIPITATION RATE U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None grid 0.5 eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere -180.0 180.0 -90.0 90.0 1979-01-01T0000+00 2016-12-31T2230+00 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 808164.087 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d314002/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d314002/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
