Surface water flood risk data for the UK, showing land at risk to defined depth bands for three annual exceedance probabilities (0.1%, 1%, 3.3%). Produced by the Environment Agency, this dataset includes climate change scenarios for the 2070s epoch (2061-2125) based on UKCP18 RCP 8.5 projections. The data is intended for spatial planning and indicates risk to areas of land, not individual properties.

It combines tabular data files with supporting video imagery, supporting research into severe winter weather forecasting.
Central Oklahoma's Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) produced this dataset from April to June 2011. It contains particle size distributions and images collected by three airborne probes (2D-C, CIP, HVPS-3) aboard a University of North Dakota Cessna Citation aircraft. The data, processed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), supports validation of satellite rainfall retrievals and model parameterizations.
Four vertically pointing Micro Rain Radars collected vertical velocity, drop size distribution, rainfall rate, and reflectivity factor data in eastern Iowa from April 11 to June 16, 2013. The campaign aimed to validate satellite precipitation measurements by deploying each MRR adjacent to a two-dimensional video disdrometer and other ground instruments. This dataset provides detailed, co-located ground-truth measurements for the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement mission's Iowa Flood Study.
April-June 2011 data from the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) provides raw Doppler velocity spectra from a 449 MHz profiler. This dataset, collected by NOAA and archived by NASA, offers estimates of vertical air motion during precipitation events from near the surface to just below the freezing level. The data supports the retrieval of vertical profiles of raindrop size distributions when used with complementary S-band profiler measurements.
Monthly mean river discharge data for over 2600 global sites, with a subset covering the Amazon Basin (10°N to 25°S, 30° to 85°W). The data is a compilation from sources including RivDIS v1.1, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Brazilian National Department of Water and Electrical Energy. Its purpose is to provide detailed hydrographic information for climate research, with records varying from 3 to over 100 years per site.
LPJ-EOSIM Version 1 provides simulated daily global wetland methane emissions at a 0.5-degree spatial resolution, delivered on a two-month cadence for low-latency monitoring. The model uses wetland extent, soil moisture, temperature, and carbon content to estimate fluxes, excluding ponds, lakes, and coastal wetlands. Four Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF files are produced per day, including outputs forced by MERRA-2 and ERA5 reanalyses alongside mean and standard deviation layers.
Up to 4 cm horizontal and 3 cm vertical seasonal deformation was recorded at the Austmannsbunga GNSS station on the Katla Volcano in Iceland. The dataset includes observations and 3D finite element models used to quantify surface deformation from seasonal load changes on the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The work, authored by Catherine O’Hara and last updated in June 2026, is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Up to 7 cm of horizontal displacement was recorded at the Austmannsbunga GNSS station during a 2024 glacial outburst flood at Katla Volcano. This 347.9 KB PDF by Catherine O’Hara presents finite element models to quantify seasonal deformation from ice and snow unloading at the glacier-covered volcano. The work uses realistic bedrock topography and recent ice data from Mýrdalsjökull to separate volcanic from hydrological signals.
NASA's NPP Grassland: Tumugi, China dataset provides monthly above- and below-ground biomass measurements from three distinct cold meadow steppes in eastern Inner Mongolia, collected from 1981 to 1990. The data includes climate records from a local weather station and was used to estimate net primary productivity and validate the CENTURY ecosystem model. Measurements were taken from protected, non-grazed sites dominated by Filifolium sibiricum, Stipa baicalensis, and Leymus chinense species.
1975-1994 data from a mature tropical lowland rainforest at the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. The dataset contains measurements of above- and below-ground biomass, litterfall, root production, nutrient content, precipitation (1984-1997), and temperature (1992-1997), providing a basis for estimating net primary productivity (NPP). Work at the site has continued to the present day, with the dataset undergoing revisions to add root biomass estimates and correct temporal coverage.
1,137 g/m²/yr was the total annual leaf and branch fall averaged for two sites in Darien Province, Panama.
