Earthdata Forum

Good day,
I am trying to determine when the Daymet daily data is renewed? It currently extends to the end of 2023, I don't find any reference as to when it is expected that the annual data for 2024 will be incorporated into the Daymet dataset. Any insights would be appreciated. Or if any user has suggestions of compiled near-real time daily climate datasets for the US (and ideally Canada) can be sourced that would be appreciated. I have started to look into the NOAA datasets, but was hoping to find similar high resolution products as offered with the Daymet dataset.
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for your inquiry about Daymet 2024 data. The annual update of Daymet data is performed after the close of the calendar year with processing starting about 30 days after the end of the calendar year in order to allow input station data to approach archive quality status.
Once standardized products are produced, data are curated and archived through the ORNL DAAC to NASA Earthdata.
Hope this is helpful.
Michele

Thank you Michael,

Yes that is really helpful. As an aside, do you then know of any national service which releases similar data on a monthly/quarterly basis (besides NOAA - we are ideally seeking higher resolution input)?

Hello,

I'm not familiar with any higher resolution datasets.
An Earthdata Search using keywords SURFACE TEMPERATURE MAXIMUM/MINIMUM TEMPERATURE reveals 36 matching collections that may be of use.
Here is that search query:

Hope this is helpful,

HI Michele,

Thank you so much for your useful search. Will dig down into those and look forward to the ORNL annual Daymet data when it has been processed

I still can't access 2024 data, any updates?

Hello, just to add a +1: I am also interested to access 2024 Daymet data :)

Hello,

Thank you for checking in on Daymet 2024 data. I am a delayed in processing while a large set of input station data are in the process of getting resolved through other agencies. I plan to begin processing this coming week with the available data and will continue to work with agencies to have a complete North American extent as soon as possible.

Apologies for the delay,
Michele

Hi Michele,
When do you expect the daily 2024 product to be released?

Thanks,
