Matthew's GISS Global 1-Degree Vegetation, Land-use and Albedo Data
|
|
This dataset, from Elaine
Matthews of NASA, contains six databases of global 1-degree data
for use in climate studies. The six databases are a vegetation
dataset representing natural vegetation, a land-use set
defining the areal extent of cultivated land, and four surface
albedo datasets for snow-free conditions (except for permanently
snow-covered continental ice) for January, April, July, and
October.
