National Land Data Assimilation Product V2 - Water Year 1985
The NLDAS2 forcing dataset at 1km resolution and a 1 hour time step. This dataset was used to force the conus1_baseline_85 simulation. This dataset is bilinearly interpolated to the ParFlow CONUS1 grid. The original NLDAS2 dataset can be found here.
Dataset Name: NLDAS2_85
Data Collection or Processing Notes:
Bilinearly interpolated from the native resolution to 1km.
