Summary
Abstract: The MATUNXFLX or tavgU_2d_flx_Nx data product is the MERRA Data Assimilation System 2-Dimensional surface turbulence flux diagnostic that is time averaged single-level at the native resolution. It is a history file that is produced from the GCM during the corrector segment of the IAU cycle. All collections from this group are at reduced horizontal resolution. MERRA, or the Modern Era ...

Quality Position coordinates are accurate to better than +/- 50 m from nominal location accuracy of the satellite image products and be validation against Ground Control Points

Velocity components have an accuracy which varies between data sets. It is dependent on the accuracy of the feature displacement (typically +/- 8 m), registration accuracy of an image pair (typically around 20 m), and the time increment between image acquisitions (typically one or more years).
