<span style="font-size:medium;">The Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) is a NASA reanalysis integrating satellite observations using a major new version of the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System Version 5 (GEOS-5).</span>
  
<span style="font-size:small;">MERRA focuses on historical analyses of the hydrological cycle on a broad range of weather and climate time scales covering the modern satellite era from 1979 to present. The state-of-the-art GEOS-5 data assimilation system includes many modern observing systems (such as EOS) in a climate framework Specifically, the GEOS-DAS Version 5 implements Incremental Analysis Updates (IAU) to slowly adjust the model states toward the observed state.</span>

<span style="font-size:small;">MERRA-2 is produced with the GMAO/GEOS-5 Data Assimilation System Version 5.12.4 and its native resolution is 0.5° x 0.625° x 72 hybrid sigma/pressure levels. Hourly data intervals are used for two-dimensional products, while 3-hourly intervals are used for three-dimensional products. These may be on the model’s native 72-layer vertical grid or at 42 pressure surfaces extending to 0.1 hPa. MERRA-2 spans from 1979 to present (with about 5 months lag).</span>

The Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) is a NASA reanalysis integrating satellite observations using a major new version of the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System Version 5 (GEOS-5).

MERRA focuses on historical analyses of the hydrological cycle on a broad range of weather and climate time scales covering the modern satellite era from 1979 to present. The state-of-the-art GEOS-5 data assimilation system includes many modern observing systems (such as EOS) in a climate framework Specifically, the GEOS-DAS Version 5 implements Incremental Analysis Updates (IAU) to slowly adjust the model states toward the observed state.

MERRA-2 is produced with the GMAO/GEOS-5 Data Assimilation System Version 5.12.4 and its native resolution is 0.5° x 0.625° x 72 hybrid sigma/pressure levels. Hourly data intervals are used for two-dimensional products, while 3-hourly intervals are used for three-dimensional products. These may be on the model’s native 72-layer vertical grid or at 42 pressure surfaces extending to 0.1 hPa. MERRA-2 spans from 1979 to present (with about 5 months lag).

The 42 pressure levels are: 1000, 975, 950, 925, 900, 875, 850, 825, 800, 775, 750, 725, 700, 650, 600, 550, 500, 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150,100, 70, 50, 40, 30, 20,10, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0.7, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.1 hPa The 72 native grid levels are:

Information retrieved from NCAR climate re-analysis guide and GEOS-CHEM MERRA-2 wiki. The data was downloaded from the GES DISC data store where information on all the MERRA-2 products is available.

MERRA2 at NCI

We are hosting a copy of some of the MERRA-2 products on gadi in the rr7 project. The data is available in /g/data/rr7/MERRA2/raw/<MERRA-product>/<year>/<files> Filenames are <runid>.<collection>.<timestamp>.nc4

Since the rr7 project is going to be removed and the datasets relocated elsehwere, from 2020 we started downloading newly requested products to the ua8 project:
