OpenWaterAtlas: 2,928 Spots with Climate, Species, and Flight Routes

2,928 geographic spots combine climate data with species occurrence records from OBIS and GBIF and 34,876 flight routes from OpenFlights. The dataset likely contains environmental and biological variables for each location. The author and last update date are unknown.

Use Cases

• Model species distribution based on climate variables and flight route proximity.
• Analyze potential correlations between transportation networks and biodiversity hotspots.
• Assess climate conditions across the 2,928 geographic spots for ecological studies.

Strengths

• Integrates data from multiple established sources: OBIS, GBIF, and OpenFlights.
• Contains 2,928 distinct geographic spots as a base unit of analysis.
• Includes a substantial number of flight routes (34,876) for network context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
