# Temperature at 2 m MERRA2

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-01-16)

I need MERRA2 data with Temperature at 2m.

I'm checking on <https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/daac-bin/FTPSubset2.pl> but I can't find this variable.

Suggestions where I can find them? Or anyone that did have or has the same problem?

Thank you for the help.

When I visit that link, the first option at the top ("Data Product") defaults to `inst3_3d_asm_Np`, which is atmospheric variables in pressure levels. I suspect you need to change that dropdown option to `inst1_2d_asm_Nx`, which is surface and near-surface variables. The list is shows me for that option is,

```
DISPH = zero plane displacement height
PS = surface pressure
QV10M = 10-meter specific humidity
QV2M = 2-meter specific humidity
SLP = sea level pressure
T10M = 10-meter air temperature
T2M = 2-meter air temperature    <---- Here it is!
TO3 = total column ozone
TOX = total column odd oxygen
TQI = total precipitable ice water
TQL = total precipitable liquid water
TQV = total precipitable water vapor
TROPPB = tropopause pressure based on blended estimate
