FLDAS - Central Asia
Noah-MP (version 4.0.1) and Noah (version 3.6) land surface model simulations over Central Asia (30-100°E, 21-56°N) are run within the Land Information System (LIS) framework at 1 km horizontal resolution continuously from Oct 1, 2000. They are forced with the 6-hourly GDAS atmospheric forcing. More details can be found in McNally et al. 2022, and related links are given below:
