NLDAS VIC Land Surface Model L4 Monthly 0.125 x 0.125 degree V2.0 (NLDAS_VIC0125_M)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/nl7jtzyo2rvk
This data set contains forty-three fields simulated from the VIC land-surface model (LSM) for Phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2).
Description
The data are in 1/8th degree grid spacing and range from January 1979 to present. The temporal resolution is monthly.
The file format is netCDF (converted from GRIB format). The NLDAS-2 monthly Noah model data were generated from the NLDAS-2 hourly Noah model data, as monthly accumulation for rainfall, snowfall, subsurface runoff, surface runoff, total evapotranspiration, snow melt, and monthly averages for other variables. Each monthly period is from 00Z at start of the month to 23:59Z at end of the month, with the exception of the very first month in the data set (January 1979), which starts at 00Z 02 January 1979.

Also, for the first month (January 1979), since the variables listed as instantaneous in the README file do not have valid data exactly on 00Z 02 January 1979, this one hour is not included in the average for this one month. Details about the NLDAS-2 configuration of the VIC LSM can be found in Xia et al. (2012).
