global:grid:::Land Data Assimilation System, deprecated, use one of the ldas_* functions instead

The time zone is always UTC.

This command is deprecated. It has been split up into separate commands for each of the different LDAS products. This command remains only so that old scripts don’t break.

Please use the following commands instead: [‘ldas’, ‘ldas_gldas_noah’, ‘ldas_gldas_noah_v2_0’, ‘ldas_gldas_noah_v2_1’, ‘ldas_grace’, ‘ldas_merra’, ‘ldas_nldas_fora’, ‘ldas_nldas_noah’, ‘ldas_nldas_vic’, ‘ldas_smerge’]
