One Year of Terra/CERES Data (Outgoing Longwave Radiation) Daily Data

Visualizations by Tom Bridgman Released on June 20, 2001

This animation displays one year of Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) Terra/CERES data (March 1, 2000 to May 25, 2001) at one day resolution. The data are 2.5 degree resolution.
