Visualized dataset
DOI
10.1175/JHM-D-16-0014.1
Short Name
moisture_transport_ascat_daily
Description
Moisture transport integrated over depth of atmosphere and its divergence (equivalent to evaporation - precipitation), daily maps, 2007-2018, 0.5 degree, are derived from ASCAT wind vector, geostationary satellite cloud drift wind, and SSM/I integrated water vapor.
