LBA is an international field program designed to further understanding of the climatological, ecological, biogeochemical and hydrological processes in Amazonia, and the impact of land use change on these processes. The TRMM/LBA campaign took place in Brazil in the region 16S to 6 N and 76W to 49W (moving south to north and east to west) from November 1, 1998 through February 28, 1999.
The data presented here are from 1 Jan 1999 to 28 Feb 1999 and cover a region from 30S to 10N latitude and from 90W to 35W longitude.
Selected variables from the ISCCP D1 and DX are available here for display as GIF images, or for downloading to your local disk. If you are downloading data, please see the browse data format description. Also take note of the reference information. The full documentation for the ISCCP D1 and DX data can be found at the ISCCP D1 and DX webpage.
If you are downloading multiple files, please use the GCSS-DIME ftp site (ftp gcss-dime.giss.nasa.gov/pub/LBA). D1 or DX files obtained from the ftp site are in D1 or DX-specific formats and must be read using either dxread.f or d1read.f available at the ISCCP website
Note also that the complete ISCCP DX data is now available from the ISCCP's Official Data Archives (NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC) via anonymous ftp through ftp://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/isccp/dx.
