ICOADS observations are assimilated into all major atmospheric, oceanic and coupled reanalyses, further widening its impact. R3.0 therefore includes changes designed to enable effective exchange of information describing data quality between ICOADS, reanalysis centres, data set developers, scientists and the public. These user-driven innovations include the assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each marine report-to enable tracing of observations, linking with reports and improved data sharing. Other revisions and extensions of the ICOADS' International Maritime Meteorological Archive (IMMA) common data format incorporate new near-surface oceanographic data elements and cloud parameters. Many new input data sources have been assembled, and updates and improvements to existing data sources, or removal of erroneous data, made. The ICOADS Monthly Summaries Group (MSG) are designed to store both 1-degree, and 2-degree, latitude x longitude monthly summaries (the format also has the capability, unused at present, to store 0.5-degree data). MSG products are currently available covering the global domain (1-degree and/or 2-degree boxes) and an equatorial domain (1-degree), with 2-degree products available from 1800 forward and 1-degree products available only for 1960 forward. Six "groups" of variables make up MSG. The variables comprise the 19 variables that were produced for COADS Release 1 (groups 3-7) plus three additional variables that make up group 9: the cube of the wind speed, W**3, as well as the zonal and meridional contributions to the latent heat flux, U(QS-Q) and V(QS-Q). Multiple sources of historical marine observations provided in a well-documented standard format and long period of record with global coverage. completed Eric Freeman DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce MSC Contractor / Marine Observation Analyst 828-271-4463 eric.freeman@noaa.gov Email or Phone pointOfContact unknown https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/Logo_ICOADS_single.png ICOADS logo PNG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Pressure Tendency Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Surface Pressure Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Sea Surface Temperature Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Temperature > Water Temperature Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Sea State Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Swells Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Wave Height Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Wave Period Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Wave Speed/Direction Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Waves > Wind Waves Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice > Ice Edges Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice > Icebergs Earth Science > Oceans > Sea Ice > Sea Ice Concentration theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
