Raindrop size and precipitation drop size distribution data collected during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E). The dataset was a collaborative effort between NASA's GPM Ground Validation program and the DOE's ARM Climate Research Facility, taking place in central Oklahoma from April to June 2011. It was designed to provide detailed characterization of convective cloud systems to constrain model parameterizations and satellite rainfall retrieval algorithms.
A 344-page geophysical monograph from 2004 synthesizes research on the opening of the Tasmanian Gateway. It addresses the tectonic history from the Late Cretaceous and its impact on ocean circulation, sedimentation, and global climate over the last 33 million years. The volume is published by the American Geophysical Union and incorporates results from deep-sea cores collected offshore Tasmania.
The Great Australian Bight contains video and still imagery of seabed fauna from towed camera transects. Data was collected during two Marine National Facility voyages, IN2015_C01 and IN2017_C01, targeting volcanic seamounts, canyons, and seep zones at depths between 1000 and 5000 meters. The Australian Ocean Data Network archives this imagery, with annotations stored in the BHIMAGE database.
1451 rock glaciers in the Austrian Alps were inventoried from aerial photographs taken primarily between 1980 and 1990. The dataset records their location, activity status, and morphometric characteristics, such as length, width, and elevation. Only 19% were classified as intact, with the remaining 81% identified as relict features, many dating to the Late Glacial period.
A dataset from Environment and Climate Change Canada, last updated in May 2026, detailing the influence of human-caused climate change on extreme weather events. It uses a rapid attribution system to compare event likelihoods across pre-industrial, current, and projected future climates for 17 regions covering Canada. The data includes analyses of extreme heat waves, cold, and precipitation events, categorized by a seven-point likelihood scale.
Daymet Version 4 R1 provides annual climate summaries at a 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution for North America, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The dataset includes five variables: annual averages for minimum temperature, maximum temperature, vapor pressure, and snow water equivalent, plus annual totals for precipitation. It is produced by NASA and derived from daily Daymet data, with specific corrections applied to the 2020 and 2021 files for high-latitude areas.
Daymet Version 4 R1 provides monthly climate summaries at a 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution for North America, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The dataset includes five variables: minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation, vapor pressure, and snow water equivalent, with monthly averages or totals. It is produced by NASA and derived from daily weather parameters, with specific corrections applied to 2020 and 2021 data.
GEWEX SRB Release 4-Integrated Product provides 26 longwave radiative parameters for the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and top of atmosphere. This daily-averaged dataset includes all-sky, clear-sky, and pristine-sky upward and downward fluxes at multiple atmospheric levels, derived from satellite and reanalysis inputs. Its global coverage spans from January 1988 through December 2009.
Flood estimates provide global coverage at a 0.25-degree spatial resolution every 3 hours. The dataset was created by NASA to support the Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) experiment, which combined ground instruments, advanced radars, and satellite overpasses. Data collection occurred from March 26, 2013, through June 30, 2013.
A 1995 geospatial subset provides a 1-degree gridded map of freshwater wetlands for the Amazon Basin (10° N to 25° S, 30° to 85° W). The data, derived from Aselman and Crutzen's (1989) global wetlands maps and Klinger's Alaskan data, was interpolated to a uniform grid for use in global climate models. It was created to support the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), an international research initiative led by Brazil.
1987 land cover classification for the Amazon Basin, derived from AVHRR satellite data. This dataset is a regional subset of the University of Maryland's 1-degree global product, created for the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment (LBA). It uses a supervised classification of eleven cover types representing major world biomes, based on monthly NDVI composites averaged to a one-by-one degree resolution.
Fifty spectral bands of calibrated radiance data were collected by the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument during seven NASA ER-2 flights from July 29 to August 18, 2007.

Shortandy Biological Station in Kazakhstan provides biomass measurements and climate data from a semiarid continental steppe. Measurements of above- and below-ground live and dead matter were taken biweekly to monthly during growing seasons from 1977 to 1980, with cumulative ANPP estimates. The site represents one of eight major Eurasian grassland types, with recorded annual mean temperatures of 27.7/-24.6°C and precipitation of 349.8 mm for 1976-1980.
From 1970 to 1973, this dataset monitors plant biomass dynamics at a grassland site in the Rocky Mountains, with data collected at roughly two-week intervals during growing seasons. It contains above-ground live biomass, standing dead matter, litter, and below-ground biomass for roots and crowns at two soil depths, under ungrazed and moderately grazed treatments. The data were collected as part of the U.S. Grassland Biome Project of the International Biological Program (IBP) across ten central and western U.S. sites.
