Description

Locations of water-body locations remote from land: This dataset is a latitude-longitude grid indicating the locations of water-body locations more distant from land than 5, 15 and 20 km. It is derived from Carrea et al., 2016, which in turn was derived from the ESA Climate Change Initiative for Land Cover Water Bodies product released in October 2014. 3 = distance greater than 20 km; >=2 = distance greater than 15 km; >=1 = distance greater than 5 km. Paper describing underlying distance-to-land dataset: Carrea, L., Embury, O., Merchant, C.J. (2016) Datasets related to inland water for limnology and remote sensing applications: distance-to-land, distance-to-water, water-body identifier and lake-centre co-ordinates.
