We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

POWER
Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources
The goal of the NASA Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) project is to provide solar and meteorological data from satellite observations and models to help worldwide users respond to challenges and societal needs. POWER facilitates the use of NASA Earth science data on a global scale with measurements from the early 1980s to current, near-real time data. To this end, POWER has reformatted and disseminated to the public radiative fluxes data – including solar – from several NASA sources, such as the Surface Radiation Budget dataset and the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) sensor. These data are available via a user-friendly, geographic information system-enabled web data portal at the native resolution of each data product. POWER has done the same for consistent meteorological data from NASA assimilation models including MERRA-2 and other NASA efforts including the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) platform and Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) product.
