Land cover classification gridded maps from 1992 to present derived from satellite observations

This dataset provides global maps describing the land surface into 22 classes, which have been defined using the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization’s (UN FAO) Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). In addition to the land cover (LC) maps, four quality flags are produced to document the reliability of the classification and change detection.

Land surface temperature monthly gridded data from 1995 to present derived from satellite observations

This dataset contains monthly daytime and nighttime clear-sky land surface temperatures (LSTs) and their uncertainty estimates from multiple Infra-Red (IR) instruments on polar orbiting satellites. Daytime and nighttime temperatures correspond to 10:00 and 22:00 local solar time (local solar time is defined as the time in a 24 hour day with 12 noon occurring when the sun is at its highest point at that longitude).

Leaf area index and fraction absorbed of photosynthetically active radiation 10-daily gridded data from 1981 to present

This catalogue entry provides satellite-derived estimates of two related variables: Leaf Area Index (LAI) and fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fAPAR). LAI and fAPAR are both Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) as defined by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), meaning they have been designated as essential for contributing to a comprehensive view of Earth’s climate, its variability and trends.

Machine Learning model data

ECMWF is now running a series of data-driven forecasts as part of its experimental suite. These machine-learning based models are very fast, and they produce a 10-day forecast with 6-hourly time steps in approximately one minute. The outputs are available in graphical form.

Currently, three of these models are available:

Fire burned area from 2001 to present derived from satellite observations

The Burned Area products provide global information of total burned area (BA) at pixel and grid scale. The BA is identified with the date of first detection of the burned signal in the case of the pixel product, and with the total BA per grid cell in the case of the grid product. The products were obtained through the analysis of reflectance changes from medium resolution sensors (Terra MODIS, Sentinel-3 OLCI), supported by the use of MODIS thermal information.

Fire danger indicators for Europe from 1970 to 2098 derived from climate projections

The dataset presents projections of fire danger indicators for Europe based upon the Canadian Fire Weather Index System (FWI) under future climate conditions. The FWI is a meteorologically based index used worldwide to estimate the fire danger and is implemented in the Global ECMWF Fire Forecasting model (GEFF). In this dataset, daily FWI values, seasonal FWI values, and other FWI derived, threshold-specific, indicators were modelled using the GEFF model to estimate the fire danger in future climate scenarios.

Fire radiative power and active fire pixels from 2020 to present derived from satellite observations

This dataset provides global information on the timing and location of Active Fires (AF) burning on Earth's surface during satellite overpasses, and also records their Fire Radiative Power (FRP) as a measure of strength. FRP relates to a fire's combustion rate, and the rate at which smoke containing greenhouse gases, reactive gases and particular matter is released into the atmosphere. The vast majority of detected hotspots are related to landscape fires, however other high temperature targets such as active volcanoes and gas flares are also present in the data.

Agroclimatic indicators from 1951 to 2099 derived from climate projections

This dataset provides agroclimatic indicators used to characterise plant-climate interactions for global agriculture. Agroclimatic indicators are useful in conveying climate variability and change in the terms that are meaningful to the agricultural sector. The objective of this dataset is to provide these indicators at a global scale in an easily accessible and usable format for further downstream analysis and the forcing of agricultural impact models.

Agrometeorological indicators from 1979 to present derived from reanalysis

This dataset provides daily surface meteorological data for the period from 1979 to present as input for agriculture and agro-ecological studies. This dataset is based on the hourly ECMWF ERA5 data at surface level and is referred to as AgERA5. Acquisition and pre-processing of the original ERA5 data is a complex and specialized job. By providing the AgERA5 dataset, users are freed from this work and can directly start with meaningful input for their analyses and modelling.
