- 1. Uppsala University, Sweden
- 2. KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
Description
This is a collection of 124 global and free datasets allowing for spatial (and temporal) analyses of floods, droughts and their interactions with human societies. We have structured the datasets into seven categories: hydrographic baseline, hydrological dynamics, hydrological extremes, land cover & agriculture, human presence, water management, and vulnerability. Please refer to Lindersson et al. (accepted february 2020 in WIREs Water) for further information about review methodology.
The collection is a descriptive list, holding the following information for each dataset:
- Category - as structured in Lindersson et al. (in preparation).
- Sub-category- as structured in Lindersson et al. (in preparation).
- Abbreviation - official or as specified in Lindersson et al. (in preparation).
- Title - full title of dataset.
- Product(s) - type of product(s) offered by the dataset.
- Period - time period covered by the dataset, not defined for all datasets.
- Temporal resolution - not defined for static datasets.
- Angular spatial resolution - only defined for gridded datasets.
- Metric spatial resolution - only defined for gridded datasets.
- Map scale
- Extent - geographic coverage of dataset given in latitude limits.
- Description
- Creating institute(s)
- Data type - raster, vector or tabular.
- File format
- Primary EO type - specifies if the product primarily is based on remote sensing, ground-based data, or a hybrid between remote sensing and ground-based data.
- Data sources - lists the data sources behind the dataset, to the extent this is feasible.
- Data sources also in this table - data sources that are also included as datasets in this collection.
- Intentionally compatible with - defines other datasets in this collection that the dataset is intentinoally compatible with.
