I suggest using the Giovanni system, https://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/ . Search for "surface temperature". There are several data products available, both from satellite instrument observations and reanalysis models. Then you can create an area-averaged time series for your time period of in...

Kancha, I would suggest starting with the MERRA-2 and AIRS data sets from the GES DISC. MERRA-2 has numerous meteorological variables, and the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) provides temperature and humidity data which can also be examined as vertical profiles. Below is a search URL for Dew Poi...

Leon, I have not received a reply on your question. However, I did find an article you may find of interest that utilized Giovanni. The reference is below.

Here is the answer from our MERRA-2 data curator. "M2TUNXLND is monthly mean diurnal , i.e., the average is done for each hour of a month. If you are interested in the monthly mean data, you should have data for M2TMNXLND. For the variable EVLAND, the unit is: kg m-2 s -1 Read more by searching...

Here is the answer regarding the MLS data from our scientific staff. This is current as of 1-6-2021, as the data gaps listed will be filled as the reprocessing continues. "The v5 MLS was first released on June 11, 2020. Because it takes a long time to reprocess the full data record, the MLS tea...

Hello, This answer is courtesy of MERRA-2 scientists who specialize in the aerosol components of the model. "The 'sedimentation' variables are the mass loss by gravitational settling to surface in units kg/m2/s. The loss due to dry removal processes is the sum of the 'sedimentation' and 'dry de...
