Global Climate Data Download

Perhaps one of the most difficult information to obtain is climate mapping based on values ​​of temperature, precipitation or humidity. Usually, this little information is found in raster format or in simple data tables. And although the information may be scarce on the Internet, there are places to obtain this type of data. Let's see where we can download climate cartography.

Worldwide we find some places to download climate cartography. WorldClim is a possible resource where you can download climatic data in Raster format of 19 climatic variables worldwide and at different resolution levels. It provides climate information under three potential scenarios: present, past and future, being able to use this latest information (CMIP5 model) for future modeling projects in the face of climate change.

The Global Climate Monitor is also another option that we can use to obtain climate information. From this interesting platform we will be able to consult the global climatic data of various variables and consult the documentary source from which they come. We can also download the information of stations or complete territorial zones in CSV, XLSS, SHAPE or KML formats.


Climate-Data also offers us climatic information from anywhere in the world, although this time we will not have cartographic information but the climatological data itself in the form of graphs and tables. Information based on tables is offered by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) where we will find countless climatic indicators.


Global Weather Data for SWAT: it has a database of stations distributed throughout the world (except for the polar areas) through which you can locate the position of the stations and interpolate the data of five main climatic variables available since 1979.

Climate Engine can be one of the best platforms to work with, being able to access countless climatic variables and indicators derived from satellite images. The platform accesses Google Earth Engine data collections, allowing you to download raw and preprocessed data or generating time series of values ​​for defined territorial areas. Surely one of the most unknown applications with the greatest potential for downloading climate maps.


ERA5-Land is the resource offered by Copernicus to access climatic variables with global coverage since 1981 and with a recurrence of one hour . In addition to climate data, you will also find information linked to variables such as vegetation or water bodies. You can download the datasets from the Copernicus platform or process long time series of data from the collections available in Google Earth Engine.






All the best!!!

How to correct Scanline Error/Banding in Landsat 7 images

Image
If you want to correct for banding in Landsat 7 images, the USGS has a  system for correcting  Landsat 7 satellite images. Although there are several methods based on interpolation, you can resort to a simple tool with the help of the Landsat Toolbox for ArcGIS. If Landsat 7 images are recognizable for something, it is because of their satellite image banding problems, generating gaps or lines of absence of information with a slight inclination towards the sides while the central area is displayed correctly.  An error that generates missing data by displaying the image through banding of stripes or lines parallel to each other.  Something that, even though it is typical of Landsat 7, also occurs in some images from other space missions due to radiometric errors and that can be corrected in a similar way. Landsat Toolbox developed by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).  Within this simple toolbox you will find several applications and the o...

Maxent tool for ArcGIS Pro in species modeling

Image
The Maxent tool for ArcGIS Pro is now available starting with versions 2.9.  The mythical species distribution modeling tool already has a clone within the ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tools, and you will not need to complicate the adaptation of variables and coordinates that Maxent originally requires.  From your coordinates and variables, whatever your starting conditions, you can carry out the modeling of species. From the analysis tools you can access the  Presence-only Prediction (Maxent) tool,  an emulation of the original tool within the ArcGIS Pro environment that does not require the addition of auxiliary toolboxes or direct gateways to the .JAR executable. The tool presents the same parameterization as Maxent, having to incorporate the raster environmental variables and the distribution coordinates.  What is interesting about the tool?  That you will not need  to adapt the data to Maxent's requirements by  managing pixel sizes, generating CS...

Hillshade, slope maps, DEMs and 3D orthophotos

Image
When one is a beginner and gets into the world of the exploitation of Digital Terrain Models, or DTM, the first doubts and confusions assail about what is a slope map, a shadow map, a Digital Elevation Model and an image visualized in 3D.  Do we see the differences between them to understand each other? Digital  elevation  models,  or DEMs, allow altitude values ​​to be represented by pixels (when we are using GRID files).  Each pixel shows an altitude value, and, with the help of cartographic software, we can visualize the complete model in 3D noting the morphology of the terrain.  Once we represent the model in a three-  dimensional environment   we will be able to visualize the geography noting the slopes, valleys, valleys, mountains or any geographical feature of the territory thanks to the sensation of depth.  These models only represent altitude values, concepts such as depth, slope orientation or shadows are determined by the position ...
