Citing MERRA-2 Data
Please Note: If you use MERRA-2 data in your scientific studies, we request that you include citations to these data in the reference lists of your publication manuscripts. Each MERRA-2 file collection has its own citable DOI. Tables of the MERRA-2 data collection DOIs, and example text for their citation are shown below.
Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Tables
Digital Object Identifiers are attached to each MERRA-2 variable collection. Users should cite the data used in research papers following these DOI’s.
Example Citation:
Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) (2015), inst3_3d_asm_Cp: MERRA-2 3D IAU State, Meteorology Instantaneous 3-hourly (p-coord, 0.625x0.5L42), version 5.12.4, Greenbelt, MD, USA: Goddard Space Flight Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GSFC DAAC), Accessed Enter User Data Access Date at doi: 10.5067/VJAFPLI1CSIV.
Note that complete citations for each file collection are provided at the GES-DISC download site.
