MERRA-2 tavg1_2d_chm_Nx: 2d,1-Hourly,Time-Averaged,Single-Level,Assimilation,Carbon Monoxide and Ozone Diagnostics 0.625 x 0.5 degree V5.12.4 (M2T1NXCHM) at GES DISC

M2T1NXCHM (or tavg1_2d_chm_Nx) is an hourly time-averaged 2-dimensional data collection in Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). This collection consists of assimilated carbon monoxide and ozone diagnostics, such as properties of carbon monoxide (column burden, emission, chemical production, and surface concentration), and total column ozone. The data field is time-stamped with the central time of an hour starting from 00:30 UTC, e.g.: 00:30, 01:30, … , 23:30 UTC.MERRA-2 is the latest version of global atmospheric reanalysis for the satellite era produced by NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) using the Goddard Earth Observing System Model (GEOS) version 5.12.4. The dataset covers the period of 1980-present with the latency of ~3 weeks after the end of a month.
