[M2I6NPANA] Missing values in air temperature

I am using the M2I6NPANA product to obtain air temperature data for different pressure levels in South Asian countries. I have seen corresponding values for most regions, but have encountered some NA/NaN values in some places. I tried to see if this was documented in the FAQs and other notes, but I ...

Re: Magnitude and Unit of PM2.5, MERRA-2: Conversion Necessary?

Thank you for responding quickly. As I do not have any scientists/experts in this field around, I just would like to confirm the following two things: (1) Is the conversion for kg m^{-3} to μg m^{-3}, multiplying kg m^{-3} by 10^9, generally applicable and frequently used method in practice? (2) Is ...
