Earthdata

GES DISC

NASA's Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) released the Nimbus "CDROM" data sets originally created by Oxford University's Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP) group. These CDROM data sets contain radiance data from the

• Selective Chopper Radiometer (SCR) instrument on Nimbus-4 from 1970-07-27 to 1972-11-02 (1 disc)
• SCR instrument on Nimbus-5 from 1972-12-13 to 1978-04-20 (28 discs)
• Pressure Modulated Radiometer (PMR) instrument on Nimbus-6 from 1975-06-16 to 1978-06-24 (2 discs)
• Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (SAMS) instrument on Nimbus-7 from 1978-10-22 to 1984-04-16 (53 discs)

NSIDC DAAC

NASA's National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) published the data set Daily Lake Ice Phenology Time Series Derived from AMSR-E and AMSR2, Version 1. This data set, part of the Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program, provides 5 km ice phenology retrievals describing daily lake ice conditions (ice-on/ice-off) over the Northern Hemisphere. This satellite-based data set allows for rapid assessment and regional monitoring of seasonal ice coverage over large lakes with resulting accuracy suitable for global change studies.

ORNL DAAC

NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) DAAC published the Carbon Monitoring System dataset CMS: Fire Weather Indices for Interior Alaska, 2001-2010. This dataset provides daily fire weather indices for interior Alaska during the active fire seasons from 2001 to 2010. Data are gridded at 60-m resolution. The active fire season is defined as May 24-September 18 (days of the year 144-261) in this dataset.

PO.DAAC

NASA's Physical Oceanography DAAC (PO.DAAC) publicly released the NASA/GSFC Aquarius Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) L3 V1.0 and GHRSST Remote Sensing Systems (REMSS) L4 V5 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) MW_OI and MW-IR_OI datasets.

SEDAC

NASA's Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) completed a beta release of two data sets based on the Global Fire Emissions Data v.4 (GFED4) on 26 January - the Global Fire Emissions Indicators, Country-Level Tabular Data, v1 (1997 – 2015) and the Global Fire Emissions Indicators, Grids, v1 (1997 – 2015). The Country-Level Tabular Data summarize the data by country and by year, whereas the grids provide the data in GeoTIFF as an alternative to the NetCDF5.
