Listed below are some of the common data access problems that users have reported, along with our best solutions for these problems. 1. The user reports they cannot access our data because they have not registered with Earthdata. The GES DISC responds by sending the detailed instructions on how to r...

We have forwarded the information you provided to the MERRA-2 team for examination.

Helga,

Hi. The location of the CSV after you generate a time-series is under 'Downloads' in the History left sidebar. When you click on 'Downloads', you should see what I've shown below.

Just click on CSV and you should get an automatic download.

The NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) and Hydrological Sciences Laboratory (HSL) are pleased to announce the release of the NASA GRACE Data Assimilation for Drought Monitoring (GRACE-DA-DM) Version 3.0 Global data product. This dataset contains a series of d...

The answer was provided by a GLDAS/NLDAS Subject Matter Expert: "The Catchment land surface model (CLSM) anchoring GLDAS2.2 does not simulate surface water. dCanopy interception represents rainfall intercepted by the canopy of trees and plants while the part of rainfall not intercepted becomes ...

The following questions were received from a user by the GES DISC Help Desk, and are posted here for community information.

"Does GLDAS TWS considers surface water?
What is Canopy Interception?

Is the groundwater storage representative of shallow or deep ground water?"

Hello. Our team has requested the name of the variable and data collection, and also a time period of interest and area that can be used to examine the data. If you have any plots you have made of the data, they would be useful as well (you can post them here).

Hello, we will forward your question to the MERRA-2 data specialists and may contact the MERRA-2 team as well.
