What's in it

Data offered docs-verified
Human Sleep Project clinical polysomnography (PSG) recordings · Common Crawl web archive · The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) genomic data · CCRS MODIS albedo over Canada · Folding@home COVID-19 molecular dynamics datasets · Sentinel-2 satellite imagery · TARGET childhood cancer genomic data · USGS Landsat satellite imagery · Allen Cell Imaging Collections
Coverage llm-inferred
Varies by dataset (e.g. Canada for MODIS albedo; global land surface for Sentinel-2) · Varies by dataset (e.g. Sentinel-2 L1C from June 2015; MODIS albedo since February 2000)
Resolution llm-inferred
Varies by dataset (e.g. 250 m for MODIS albedo)
Formats llm-inferred
various (dataset-dependent; e.g. Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF, STAC)
Access docs-verified
Open access via AWS resources; licence varies by dataset and is set by third-party providers, so check each dataset's licence.

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred
Screening Sentinel-2 or Landsat imagery for land-cover or habitat baselines on non-UK sites where UK sources are unavailable · Locating third-party environmental or climate datasets to cite in an evidence review or method statement · Identifying open satellite archives (Landsat, Sentinel-2) for historical change analysis in a remote-sensing study
Audience llm-inferred
GIS analysts · remote-sensing specialists · ecologists · data scientists

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred
Directory only: lists datasets but does not provide a unified data API · Datasets are not maintained by AWS unless stated, so update and maintenance risk sits with each provider · No UK-specific datasets are named in the listing, so UK coverage is likely limited · Licence terms differ per dataset and must be checked individually · Formats, resolution and coverage vary by dataset
