NOAA Interpolated Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR), monthly mean

Monthly mean OLR

This OLR dataset is from the NOAA Climate Diagnostics Center (CDC), currently the Physical Sciences Division, the Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), with gaps filled with temporal and spatial interpolation. For details of the interpolation technique see Note by Liebmann and Smith (Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, June 1996).

This is the last planned update of the NOAA Interpolated OLR dataset. Production will resume when we receive funding to do so. Please email them if this impacts your research.
