NLDAS-2 meteorological forcing at SNOTEL sites

NLDAS-2 meteorological forcing time series (NetCDF) extracted at SNOTEL sites. See NLDAS_site_list.txt for an index of what SNOTEL sites are in each zip archive. Time series generally span 1980 to 2021, but the end date varies because it corresponds to SNOTEL data available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23478682 . Variables include: U, V wind Air temperature Specific humidity Air pressure Downward LW and SW radiation Precipitation NLDAS-2 meteorological variables NOT included: convective precipitation, CAPE, potential ET. Data was originally downloaded via a "hydrology Data Rods" service that has been replaced by: https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/information/tools?title=Hydrology%20Time%20Series (last accessed October 2026).
