Basic descriptions The Global Coastal Algal Bloom Dataset is derived from daily MODIS satellite images with a resolution of 1 km, totaling 0.76 million images globally, spanning the period from 2003 to 2020. It captures the occurrences of coastal blooms for 126 out of 153 ocean-bordering countries worldwide. Compared to prior global coastal phytoplankton datasets

Basic descriptions The “China lake algal bloom” dataset describes the algal bloom conditions in 103 Chinese lakes affected by algal blooms over the past two decades (2003 to 2020). It is a dataset that includes annual scale data of algal bloom occurrence (BO), onset time (Onset), potential occurrence period (POP), and maximum bloom extent (MBE). The dataset was compiled

Basic descriptions The data set mainly includes the ice observation frequency (ICO) of north temperate lakes in four periods from 1985 to 2020, as well as the location, area and elevation of the lakes. Among them, the four time periods are 1985-1998 (P1), 1999-2006 (P2), 2007-2014 (P3) and 2015-2020 (P4) respectively, in order to improve

Basic descriptions The GLAST dataset is a comprehensive, high-temporal-resolution global lake surface temperature dataset, covering 92,245 lakes worldwide (with 36% located in the Arctic region) from 1981 to 2099. This dataset is generated through lake-specific calibrated simulations using the FLake model, with meteorological data as the driving force. The parameter calibration is achieved by using

Basic descriptions This dataset provides the reconstructed surface water area time series for all studied lakes >1 km2 in China during the period of 2000-2019. Here an improved occurrence threshold-based water classification recovery algorithm, along with a well-designed quality control process were developed to correct the contaminated remote sensing images and generated high-quality, large-scale and long-term continuous
