NEREIDS
NEREIDS is PO.DAAC's near-real-time image distribution server. The server provides satellite browse images within 24 hours of capture and keeps the data in a short-term rolling store. The images on this server are either generated at PO.DAAC, using data acquired directly from a satellite ground processing system, or are acquired from other data providers. For some images there is also provided an option to download the binary data files used to create the images.

Four-dimensional Assimilated Dataset for the TOGA COARE Intensive Observing Period (IOP)
The 4-D Assimilated Dataset is a 4-month, global, gridded atmospheric dataset for use in large-scale atmospheric research. The Laboratory for Atmospheres Data Assimilation Office (DAO) at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) produced this dataset by assimilating rawinsonde reports, satellite retrievals of geopotential thickness, cloud-motion winds, aircraft, ship, and rocketsonde reports with model forecasts employing version 1 of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-1) atmospheric general circulation model (GCM).
