Dear Ananyo,

For data of global environnemental ressources you have this list :

1) Ocean limits, ocean masses:

• GSHHS: A Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Shoreline Database - which does not contain internal inconsistencies, good accuracy.

Natural Earth - Vector: Includes coastline, land, oceans, islands, rivers, lakes, glaciated areas and bathymetry. Available at multiple levels of detail. A version of this data is also available in the Wagner VII projection, which has good equal area properties, here.

• Natural Earth - Raster: Includes various raster images, intended for use as backgrounds for other data, for example hypsometric tints, satellite derived land cover, shaded relief etc.

📷• Global Map: A set of consistent GIS layers covering the whole globe at 1km resolution

2) Topography, DEM ... Bathymetric model

ETOPO1: 1 arc-minute resolution relief model including ocean bathymetry.

OpenTopography: A community-based site giving free access to high-resolution topography data. Data at the moment appears to be clustered on the West Coast of the USA and in Greenland, and is available both as dense point clouds and processed DEMs.

3)Climatology: :

• WorldClim: Climate data for past, present and predicted future conditions. Includes temperature (min, max, mean) and precipitation. 1km x 1km resolution.

• NCAR GIS Climate Change Scenarios: Lots of data from the National Centre for Atmospheric

📷Research models, including data used by the IPCC in their reports. Registration required

• CRU Climate Datasets: Various datasets including temperature, precipitation, pressure, drought, paleoclimate and others, from the (infamous) Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. High and low resolution datasets available.

• Downscaled GCM Portal: A wide range of downscaled (that is, higher resolution data) created from the outputs of a wide range of GCMs. Covers the majority of important climate variables.

• European Climate Assessment and Dataset: Gridded observation data across Europe, including cloudiness, temperature, precipitation, humidity, pressure, snow and sunshine.

• Global Potential Evapotranspiration and Aridity Index: Potential Evapotranspiration data and indices of aridity at 30 arc-second resolution in raster format.

• GlobAerosol: Aerosol data in raster format (provided as NetCDF files), including estimations of AOD at 550nm and the Angstrom coefficient.

• Global Aerosol Climatology Project: Monthly averages of Aerosol Optical Thickness and the

Angstrom exponent from 1981 to 2006.

• Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring: Provides near real-time and retroactively- generated datasets of cloud cover, type and temperature, surface radiation budget and temperatures, amongst others.

• Climate Analysis Indicators Tool: Carbon Dioxide emissions data by country, and by US

state, including measures of adaption.

• International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project: Monthly averages of a number of cloud variables including cloud cover (and associated breakdown by frequency), cloud top temperature, cloud water path, cloud optical thickness etc.

• Climatological Database for the world's oceans (CLIWOC): Data compiled from ships logs compiled during voyages between 1750 and 1850. Includes various meteorological observations, broken down by date, ship and year.

• IRI/LDEO Climate Data Library: A wide range of over 300 datasets from various climate models and datasets.

• World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Center: Extensive set of data collected from many stations across the world, recording ozone information (from ozonesonde ascents) and ground-level ultraviolet irradiance.

You have a lot of remote sensing data to collect for analysing with for prodiers to like ;
