Description

This data set provides daily-averaged NASA Land Information System (LIS) output at a spatial resolution of 1 km. LIS was driven by uncorrected Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) data, using the Noah Multiparameterization Land Surface Model (Noah-MP). Modeled parameters include snow water equivalent (SWE), snow depth, surface temperature, and soil temperature profile.
