AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Several GRACE and GRACE-FO datasets provide monthly gravitational anomalies or water mass/storage anomalies relative to a time-mean baseline.
-
These GRACE datasets measure mass changes in terms of "Equivalent Water Thickness" or vertical extent of water in centimeters.
-
MERRA-2 datasets provide 3-hourly instantaneous or hourly time-averaged 2-dimensional data collections related to aerosol mixing ratio and diagnostics.
-
MERRA-2 aerosol data includes parameters like dust, sulfur dioxide, sea salt, black carbon, sulfate, and organic carbon.
