Lake surface water temperature from 1995 to present derived from satellite observations

This dataset provides daily mid-morning measurements for Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) derived from satellite observations. LSWT, together with five other variables (lake ice cover and thickness, water leaving reflectance, water level and extent) is recognised as the Essential Climate Variable (ECV) "Lakes" by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). LSWT is a key parameter in determining lake ecological conditions as it influences physical, chemical and biological processes.

Sea ice concentration

This dataset provides daily gridded data of sea ice concentration for both hemispheres derived from satellite passive microwave brightness temperatures. Sea ice is an important component of our climate system and a sensitive indicator of climate change. Its presence or its retreat has a strong impact on air-sea interactions, the Earth’s energy budget as well as marine ecosystems. It is listed as an Essential Climate Variable by the Global Climate Observing System.

Precipitation monthly and daily gridded data from 1979 to present derived from satellite measurements

Within the hydrological cycle, precipitation is the main component of water transport from the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface. Precipitation varies strongly, depending on geographical location, season, synopsis, and other meteorological factors. The supply of freshwater through precipitation is vital for many subsystems of the climate and the environment, but there are also hazards related to extensive precipitation or the lack of precipitation.

UERRA regional reanalysis for Europe on soil levels from 1961 to 2019

The UERRA dataset provides estimations of the climate in Europe based on model data
combined with observations using the UERRA-HARMONIE system and MESCAN-SURFEX system.
UERRA-HARMONIE is a 3-dimensional data assimilation system, whereas
MESCAN-SURFEX is a complementary surface analysis system. In general, the
assimilation systems are able to estimate biases between observations and to
sift good-quality data from poor data. The laws of physics allow for estimates
