    • NLDAS Noah Land Surface Model L4 Monthly Climatology 0.125 x 0.125 degree V2.0 (NLDAS_NOAH0125_MC) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: August 21, 2025

    This monthly climatology data set contains a series of land surface parameters simulated from the Noah land-surface model (LSM) for Phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). The data are in 1/8th degree grid spacing. The temporal resolution is monthly, ranging from January to December. The NLDAS-2 monthly climatology data are the monthly data averaged over forty years (1981 - 2020). The file format is netCDF. The previous version of this dataset (NLDAS_MC 002) was a 30-year average and was stored in GRIB file format.A brief description about the NLDAS-2 hourly and monthly Noah LSM data can be found from the dataset landing pages for NLDAS_NOAH0125_H_2.0 and NLDAS_NOAH0125_M_2.0.Details about the NLDAS-2 configuration of the Noah LSM can be found in Xia et al. (2012).For more information, please see the README Document.
