Because of the consistent gridding methodology, the current product reduces transboundary discontinuities making it suitable for estimating large-scale hydrologic phenomena. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:Livneh-Model Preview graphic PNG 0129375 0138949 0138981 0138985 0139005 0139010 0139079 0139080 0139106 0139133 0139155 0139157 0139223 0139233 0139260 0139263 0139309 0139315 0139359 0139362 0139401 0139418 0139423 0139424 0139470 0139474 0139479 0139488 0139496 0139497 0139516 0139526 0139554 0139576 0139634 0139637 0139663 0139688 0139726 0140048 0140096 0140119 0140132 0140198 0140226 0140279 0140289 0140336 0140401 0140435 0140488 0140526 0140533 0140560 0140725 0140763 0140764 0140821 0140823 0140832 0140833 0140873 0140874 0140901 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2016-01-18 publication FLUX - HEAT theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS model output theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS ASU School of Earth & Space Exploration Biological Systems Engineering Department NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory Scripps Institution of Oceanography Climate, Atmospheric Science and Physical Oceanography University of Colorado Boulder, Cooperative Institute for Research In Environmental Sciences US National Climatic Data Center UW Civil & Environmental Engineering dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS University of Colorado Boulder, Cooperative Institute for Research In Environmental Sciences dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC > National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce UCO/CIRES > Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
