Extension of MODIS atmospheric properties

We extended the MODIS TERRA and AQUA atmospheric property data sets: temperature profiles, water vapor, precipitable water, various cloud properties such as cloud fraction, cloud top pressure, etc. These global level-3 data sets are extracted from MOD08_D3 and MYD08_D3 data sets and come with 1 degree x 1 degree grid...

Extension of MODIS atmospheric properties

We extended the Terra and Aqua MODIS  aerosol properties data sets containing parameters such as concentration of aerosol optical depth derived with the deep blue and/or dark target approaches. These global level-3 data sets are extracted from MOD08_D3 and MYD08_D3 data sets and come with 1 degree x 1 degree grid resolution...

Workshop "How to create publishable netCDF data?"

As an NFDI4earth EduHub, ICDC will provide an in-person workshop on 24+25 July.

The workshop deals with creating FAIR netCDF data. We encourage the attendees to bring their own data, but we will also provide data sets that can be used...

Upgrade of MODIS land water distribution

We upgraded the MODIS/SRTM land - water distribution data set from version 6.0 to version 6.1. This global data set comes on MODIS sinusoidal grid tiles with 250 m grid resolution. The time period covered (annual maps) is 2000 through 2022...

ICDC Data Center

The Integrated Climate Data Center (ICDC) allows easy access to climate relevant data from in-situ measurements and satellite remote sensing. These data are important to determine the status and the changes in the climate system. Additionally some relevant re-analysis data are included, which are modeled on the basis of observational data.
