Cloud properties global gridded monthly and daily data from 1979 to present derived from satellite observations

Cloud properties directly influence the state of the Earth´s upper-air atmosphere. Clouds have an effect on weather and climate through their contribution to the Earth’s water cycle and impact on the Earth’s energy budget. They impact atmospheric motions on a range of spatial and temporal scales and contribute to changes in the atmospheric composition.

CMIP5 daily data on pressure levels

This catalogue entry provides daily climate projections on pressure levels from a large number of experiments, models, members and time periods computed in the framework of fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The term "pressure levels" is used to express that the variables were computed at multiple vertical levels, which may differ in number and location among the different models.

Complete ERA5 global atmospheric reanalysis

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis of the global climate covering the period from January 1940 to present. It is produced by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) at ECMWF and provides hourly estimates of a large number of atmospheric, land and oceanic climate variables. The data cover the Earth on a 31km grid and resolve the atmosphere using 137 levels from the surface up to a height of 80km. ERA5 includes an ensemble component at half the resolution to provide information on synoptic uncertainty of its products.

Comprehensive Upper-air Observation Network from 1901 to present

The Comprehensive Upper-air Observation Network (CUON) dataset is designed
to contain all available observations from balloons ascents through the atmosphere.
The main geophysical variables are temperature, humidity, and wind speed and wind direction,
as functions of atmospheric pressure levels. The observation platforms include pilot balloons, radiosondes, and ozonesondes.
The main observation data sources are:
- the NOAA Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA version 2),
- the NCAR Upper-Air Database (UADB), and

Earth's radiation budget from 1979 to present derived from satellite observations

The Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB) represents the overall balance between incoming and outgoing radiant energy at the Earth’s top-of-the-atmosphere. This Essential Climate Variable is the primary forcing of the climate system and is therefore a fundamental quantity to be monitored to understand the Earth’s climate and its variability. The Earth’s Radiation Budget comprises of the quantification of the incoming radiation from the Sun and the outgoing reflected shortwave and emitted longwave radiation.
