USGS EROS Archive - Landsat - Atmospheric Auxiliary Data - NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis C2
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Reanalysis 1 products are annual Network Common Data Form (netCDF) files, which contain the daily values for each surface pressure, precipitable water, and air temperature. NCEP data are used in the surface reflectance algorithm for Landsat 4-7 data.
These data are available for users wanting to generate custom Level-2 products using the Collection 2 surface reflectance and surface temperature algorithms. It is not necessary for users to download the atmospheric auxiliary data for use with Collection 2 Level-2 products.
The USGS repackages information from three source Reanalysis product files into a daily HDF file that contains Scientific Data Sets (SDSs) for surface pressure (“slp”), precipitable water (“pr_wtr”), and air temperature (“air”), stored as floating-point values. These global products are 2.5° x 2.5° lat/long grids from 90° N to 90° S, and 0° E to 357.5° E. Each grid position contains four daily values from 0Z, 6Z, 12Z, and 18Z. The repackaged file also contains “lat” and “lon” SDSs that contain the latitude and longitude value along each grid axis.
