Australia's 2019 National Gravity Compilation grid contains approximately 1.8 million gravity observations processed to reveal sub-surface geological structure. The grid is derived from nearly 1.4 million ground stations in the Australian National Gravity Database, supplemented by offshore data, with ground station spacing ranging from 11 km to less than 1 km. It was produced by Geoscience Australia from data collected by government, industry, and research organizations from the 1940s onward.
60 wave buoy sites around Australia provide near-real-time data essential for understanding coastal processes.

30-minute averaged measurements from an eddy covariance tower located between two distinct savanna types in Kruger National Park, South Africa, cover the period from 2000 to 2002. The dataset includes net ecosystem exchange of CO2, water, and energy, alongside a range of meteorological variables, soil profiles, and canopy data. It was collected by the ORNL_CLOUD organization for the SAFARI 2000 project.
NASA's SMAP satellite, launched January 31, 2015, provides global sea surface salinity measurements with a 40km resolution and an 8-day repeat cycle.
