Sea Surface Salinity | Validation dataset containing Aquarius SSS and Argo float observations

The datasets below contain sea surface salinity retrieved by NASA’s Aquarius instrument collocated with in situ measurements by the Argo network of free drifting profiling floats. Sea surface salinity for Argo is defined as the shallower measurements reported by an Argo float as long as that measurement was reported for a depth of 10 m or less. Aquarius SSS, derived from L-band radiometry, are representative of the first few centimeters of the ocean surface layer.

GRACE/GRACE-FO Mascons

The GSFC time variable gravity mascon products optimize the signal-to-noise ratio through the application of spatial regularization in the estimation of both monthly and high-resolution trends from GRACE and GRACE-FO Level 1B data. These mascon products do not require any additional filtering prior to their research application.

Spectra-Bin Microphysics (WRF-SBM)

The WRF ARW version 3.1.1 was coupled with the Spectra-Bin Microphysics (SBM) part of the HUCM [Khain et al., 2011], and called the WRF-SBM. Cloud hydrometeors are categorized into one-water and six-ice classes, i.e., water droplets, ice crystals (plate, column, dendrite), snow aggregates, graupel, and hail.
