Electrical field measurements of lightning and navigation data collected by the Lightning Instrument Package (LIP) onboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft during the IMPACTS field campaign. This dataset covers three winter seasons from January 15, 2020, to March 2, 2023, studying snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic coast. The V2 release includes filtered data to correct field mill offsets identified in the prior version.
125 calibrated radiocarbon ages from five sites along a transect from New Zealand to Indonesia support climatic reconstructions for the Last Termination. Two periods of significant change at around 17 and 14.2 thousand years ago are identified, likely linked to West Pacific Warm Pool warming and Antarctic ice collapse. The dataset provides a rare, detailed palaeoclimatic record for testing hypotheses about inter-hemispheric climate teleconnections.
January 18 through February 25, 2022 atmospheric sounding data was collected by rawinsondes during the IMPACTS field campaign. The dataset provides vertical profiles of temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind to study snowband formation and evolution over the U.S. Atlantic Coast. Data is provided by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and hosted by the GHRC DAAC.
Simulated atmospheric data provides concentrations of selected trace gases for 14,880 air parcels along a north-south flight path over the Pacific. The dataset includes modeled ozone production and loss and methane loss reactivities from six global chemistry models (CAM, GEOS-Chem, GFDL, GISS-E2.1, GMI, UCI) initialized for five different days in August. It was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with model years spanning from 1997 to 2016.
A 2026 dataset from Geoscience Australia describes three newly discovered submerged coral reefs covering 80 km² in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The reefs were mapped using multibeam swath sonar, seabed sampling, and underwater video, with their upper surfaces at a mean depth of 28.6±0.5 meters. This data indicates a past phase of reef growth under different sea levels and climate conditions.
In situ aerosol measurements were collected onboard the R/V Atlantis during the NASA NAAMES mission, which studied links between ocean ecosystems and atmospheric aerosols. Data spans four seasonal deployments from 2015 to 2018 over the North Atlantic Ocean, capturing the phytoplankton cycle. This dataset provides detailed characterization of atmospheric gases, particles, and related ocean properties from a coordinated ship-based campaign.
Preliminary bathymetric and geomorphic mapping results from the RV Polarstern expedition PS141 (EASI-3) in 2024. The dataset reveals submerged glacial features on the East Antarctic continental shelf, including iceberg scours and grounding zone wedges. More than 10,000 nautical miles of new hydroacoustic data were collected in the Davis and Mawson Seas.
A 2015-2017 proposal for deep stratigraphic drilling on the Lord Howe Rise, a submerged continental ribbon in the southwest Pacific. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia and JAMSTEC, outlines plans to core Cretaceous and older sediments up to 2500 meters below the seafloor to study tectonic evolution, Cretaceous paleoclimate, and sub-seafloor microbial life. Preparatory seismic surveys in 2016 and 2017 were conducted to map crustal structure and characterize prospective drill sites.
This dataset details Montgomery County's Water Quality Protection Charge (WQPC), a property tax levy based on impervious surface area. It includes specific square footage calculations for building, parking, and recreation impervious surfaces per property account. The data is published by Montgomery County and updated annually.
A 2020 study published in Marine Geology details the geomorphology of the continental slope and rise between 112°E and 122°E. The dataset likely contains features of submarine canyons and ridges, which are described as forming a mixed contourite-turbidite system. These features are proposed as prime locations for sampling sedimentary records of the Totten Glacier's interaction with the ocean.
East Antarctica's George V shelf was surveyed between 4 January 2011 and 6 February 2011. Underwater still images were collected from 93 sites at depths ranging from 170 m to 2300 m during the Marine Science voyage on the Aurora Australis. The Australian Antarctic Division marine science support team designed and operated the camera equipment.
Collection 6.1 (C61) MODIS/Terra Aerosol 5-Min L2 Swath 3km (MOD04_3K) is an improved satellite-derived atmospheric aerosol product. It provides retrieved ambient aerosol optical properties and quality assurance globally over ocean and land at a 3 km spatial resolution, specifically developed for the air quality community. The product is based on algorithm improvements for Dark Target retrieval over urban areas and includes uncertainty estimates for Deep Blue retrievals.
Atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, total water vapor, ozone content, and stability indices derived from the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite. The data is produced for both day and night at a 5-km pixel resolution, with profiles generated at 20 vertical levels. This Level 2 swath product is provided by NASA's Level-1 and Atmosphere Archive & Distribution System (LAADS).
Australian Ocean Data Network provides a Bonaparte Basin hydrogeological inventory containing descriptive attributes for areas bounded by spatial groundwater features. The dataset groups information into themes including location, demographics, physical geography, surface water, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater, management, environment, land use, and scientific stimulus. It was last updated on 2026-04-28.
Experimental data from multi-stage stress ramp-relaxation tests on dolomitic marble under confining pressures from 2 to 70 MPa. The dataset includes real-time, full-field strain measurements from Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing, mapping spatial patterns of high-strain events. It was authored by Shuting Miao and last updated in April 2026.
Late Holocene to modern sediment accumulation data from beach ridges in Keppel Bay, central Queensland, Australia. The dataset, provided by Geoscience Australia, includes optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages indicating periods of rapid progradation approximately 1500, 1000, 450, and 230 years before present. It represents a significant sediment store, potentially trapping the equivalent of 79% of the estimated long-term average annual bedload of the Fitzroy River.
Surface Station One from the University of Alabama in Huntsville's Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) captured a detailed atmospheric profile during the CAMEX-4 field campaign. The dataset contains 1Hz measurements from multiple instruments, including an anemometer, rain gauge, thermometer, pyranometer, and barometer. It is hosted by NASA and appears on multiple government data platforms, indicating its recognized importance for atmospheric research.
RELAMPAGO Lightning Mapping Array data provides 3D mapping of Very High Frequency emissions from lightning in north-central Argentina. This dataset was produced by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center via an agreement with NOAA to serve as a validation dataset for the Geostationary Lightning Mapper.
