Lucas and Waliser Satellite ECT-Corrected Daily, Pentad and Monthly Global OLR Datasets
|
|
This dataset contains daily,pentad and monthly OLR data in
which the bias from varying satellite equatorial crossing times
(ECT's) has been estimated and then removed. This was done by starting with the twice
daily 2.5 degree NCEP/NOAA OLR archive for 1974 thru 1999.
The ECT biases caused by afternoon
satellite orbital drift AND the abrupt transition from
a morning satellite to an afternoon satellite were estimated separately and then
these estimates were removed. Please see
Estimating the Satellite Equatorial Crossing Time Biases
for more details.
