Mask files for EYECLIMA
Authors/Creators
Description
The standardized geographical mask files for the EYECLIMA project define the core spatial framework used for data aggregation. They cover a consistent European domain extending from 30° N to 80° N and 20° W to 35° E. To meet the diverse requirements of greenhouse gas (GHG) modeling systems, the masks are provided at five commonly used spatial resolutions: 0.1°, 0.125°, 0.2°, 0.5°, and 1°.
Each file contains the following variables:
| Variable Name | Type/Dimension | Description |
| latitude | 1D | Latitudinal Mid-points, degrees North |
| longitude | 1D | Longitudinal Mid-points, degrees East |
| grid_area | Geo2D | geographical area m² |
| country_all_mask | Geo2D | Comprehensive Country Mask, identifying cells belonging to the land territory and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) |
| country_domain_mask | Geo2D | Core Terrestrial Mask, identifying cells belonging only to the land area (explicitly excluding the EEZ) |
| country_code | - | Country Codes, limited to the scope of EU27+3 |
| eez_mask | Geo2D | Exclusive Economic Zone Mask |
| eez_code | - | EEZ Codes |
