What's in it

Data offered docs-verified
Surface temperature (MODIS, ASTER, AVHRR, Landsat thermal) · Climate reanalysis (NCEP/NCAR), NLDAS-2, GridMET, MACAv2-METDATA, NEX Downscaled Climate Projections · Atmospheric ozone (TOMS, OMI), MODIS monthly gridded atmospheric product · Weather forecasts (GFS, CFSv2) and precipitation (TRMM) · Landsat, Sentinel-1/2/3, MODIS (daily imagery, BRDF reflectance, vegetation indices, snow cover) · NAIP aerial imagery (1 m, US) · Elevation: SRTM DEM (30 m), regional DEMs, HydroSHEDS hydrology · Land cover: Dynamic World, ESA WorldCover · Agriculture: USDA NASS Cropland Data Layers, GFSAD · Night-time lights (DMSP-OLS, ~1 km)
Coverage docs-verified
Global, planetary-scale archive; varies by dataset (NAIP is US-only) · More than forty years of historical imagery and scientific data (Landsat from 1972 to present)
Resolution docs-verified
Varies by dataset: Landsat 30 m, NAIP 1 m, SRTM DEM 30 m, DMSP-OLS ~1 km, MODIS daily
Update frequency docs-verified
Catalogue updated and expanded daily; per-dataset cadence varies (e.g. Landsat about every two weeks, Dynamic World near real-time)
Access llm-inferred
Via Google Earth Engine (GEE). Free for non-commercial use; paid licence for commercial use. No API key required (per entry metadata, auto-extracted; not stated in docs)

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred
Baseline land cover and land-use mapping for a site using Dynamic World or ESA WorldCover · Terrain and catchment screening for drainage or flood risk using SRTM DEM and HydroSHEDS · Historical surface temperature and rainfall context from Landsat thermal, TRMM and GridMET archives · Long-term climate context from MACAv2-METDATA or NEX downscaled projections for drainage design discussions
Audience llm-inferred
hydrologists · GIS analysts · flood consultants · drainage engineers · ecologists · planners · environmental consultants

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred
Directory page only: lists datasets and does not itself serve data · Commercial use requires a paid licence (per entry metadata) · Analysis requires Earth Engine access; not a direct download source · Resolution, coverage and licence vary by dataset; NAIP is US-only · No UK-specific dataset is named on the page; UK coverage must be checked per dataset · Dataset list may change; verify each dataset page before use
Licence
free (non-commercial) / paid commercial
