New Zealand Coastal Elevation

The New Zealand Coastal Elevation dataset consists of New Zealand's publicly owned coastal digital elevation models, which are freely available to use under an open licence. The data consists of bare earth (DEM) data that traverses the coastal zone, including the seabed down to approximately 25m in depth. Data is provided as nationally consistent 1m resolution tiles derived from LiDAR surveys. All of the coastal elevation files are Cloud Optimised GeoTIFFs using LERC compression for the main grid and LERC compression with lower maxzerror for the overviews. These elevation files are accompanied by STAC metadata. The coastal...

(EXPERIMENTAL) NOAA FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)

The FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) is an experimental system set up by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) to produce medium range global forecasts. The model runs on a 0.25 degree latitude-longitude grid (about 28 km) and 13 pressure levels. The model produces forecasts 4 times a day at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18Z cycles. Major atmospheric and surface fields including temperature, wind components, geopotential height, relative humidity and 2 meter temperature and 10 meter winds are available. The products are 6 hourly forecasts up to 10 days. The data format is GRIB2. The FourCastNetGFS...

10m Annual Land Use Land Cover (9-class)

This dataset, produced by Impact Observatory, Microsoft, and Esri, displays a global map of land use and land cover (LULC) derived from ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 meter resolution for the years 2017 - 2024. Each map is a composite of LULC predictions for 9 classes throughout the year in order to generate a representative snapshot of each year. This dataset was generated by Impact Observatory, which used billions of human-labeled pixels (curated by the National Geographic Society) to train a deep learning model for land classification. Each global map was produced by applying this model to the Sentinel-2 annual scene...
