Summary

Abstract: The Time-series from the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System
(GEOS-DAS) is a global, gridded atmospheric data set for use in climate
research. The Data Assimilation Office (DAO)at Goddard Space Flight Center
(GSFC) produces this data set as a direct support of the operational EOS
instrument product generation from the Terra (12/1999 launch), Aqua(05/2002
launch) and Aura(06/2003 Launch) spacecrafts.
