MERRA is an abbreviation for Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications. The datasetsoriginates from the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office of NASA / Goddard Space Flight Center.The MERRA analysis are being conducted with the GEOS-5 Atmospheric Data Assimilation System(ADAS).

Resolution and Coverage

The model grid is 0.5 degree latitude and 2/3 degree longitude. It holds 1 hourly values with a global coverage.
