hasSummary
  • 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.
