FLASHFlux Products - Release Announcement

[ASDC - ingridgs]

FLASH_TISA_Terra-NOAA20_Version4C is the Fast Longwave And SHortwave Fluxes (FLASHFlux) Daily Gridded Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) and Surfaces/Clouds Version 4C data product. This product contains low latency (< 7 days from observations) combined Terra and NOAA-20 FLASHFlux Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) globally gridded TOA and parameterized surface radiative fluxes for applied science uses.

FLASH_SSF_NOAA20-FM6-VIIRS_Version1B data are near real-time CERES observed TOA fluxes, clouds, and parameterized surface fluxes, not officially calibrated. The Fast Longwave and SHortwave Flux (FLASHFlux) data are a product line of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy Systems (CERES) project designed for processing and release of top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and surface radiative fluxes within one week of CERES instrument measurement.

FLASH_SSF_Terra-FM1-MODIS_Version4B is the Fast Longwave And Shortwave Radiative Fluxes (FLASHFlux) Clouds and Radiative Swath (SSF) TERRA-FM1 data in netCDF Version 4B data product. This product consists of Low latency (< 5 days from observation) Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) fluxes and parameterized surface radiative fluxes at Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy Systems (CERES) Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) level for quick-look purposes.
