The ORNL DAAC announces the release of seven data sets for the Southern African Regional Science Initiative (SAFARI 2000). These data sets, originally prepared in coordination with data investigators by the SAFARI 2000 Data Group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, contain vegetation structure data for the Kataba site and PAR measurements for the Kalahari Transect for the wet season 2000, diffuse spectral irradiance for eight core sites in Southern Africa, daily rainfall estimates for Southern Africa, a global burned area map for Southern Africa for 2000, and modeled tropospheric air mass trajectories and burned area products for the 2000 dry season in Southern Africa.
The SAFARI 2000 project was conducted during 1999-2001 to develop a better understanding of the earth-atmosphere-human system in southern Africa.
