    • MERRA-2 const_2d_lnd_Nx: 2d, constants Land Surface Diagnostics 0.625 x 0.5 degree V5.12.4 (M2C0NXLND) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: December 6, 2023

    M2C0NXLND (or const_2d_lnd_Nx) is a data collection in Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). This collection consists of 2-dimensional constant land surface parameters, such as thickness of the predefined soil layers, soil porosity, and soil wilting point.

    MERRA-2 is the latest version of global atmospheric reanalysis for the satellite era produced by NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) using the Goddard Earth Observing System Model (GEOS) version 5.12.4.

    Questions: If you have a question, please read "MERRA-2 File Specification Document", “MERRA-2 Data Access – Quick Start Guide”, and FAQs linked from the ”Documentation” tab on this page. If that does not answer your question, you may email the question on data access to the GES DISC Help Desk (gsfc-dl-help-disc@mail.nasa.gov), or the question on science to the MERRA-2 science team (merra-questions@lists.nasa.gov).
