GMAO – Topographic Resolution Over the Contiguous US

The Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) produces near real-time atmospheric data products – like the Goddard Earth Observing System Forward Processing (GEOS FP) model, which includes forecasts, and the MERRA-2 reanalysis product, which produces a continious record of atmospheric conditions from 1980 to present.

An interim atmospheric reanalysis product called MERRA-21C – which will cover the Goddard Earth Observing System for Instrument Teams (GEOS IT) time period using an ensemble-based system of higher resolution – is expected to become available in 2025. This animation demonstrates the enhanced resolution of these GMAO data products.
