Global Vegetation and Land Use: New High-Resolution Data Bases for Climate Studies

TL;DR: In this paper, a global vegetation and land-use data base (1° latitude by 1° longitude resolution) was compiled in digital form drawing upon approximately 100 published sources complemented by a large collection of satellite imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global inundation dynamics inferred from multiple satellite observations, 1993–2000

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first global estimate of monthly inundated areas for 1993-2000, derived from a multisatellite method employing passive microwave land surface emissivities calculated from SSM/I and ISCCP observations, ERS scatterometer responses, and AVHRR visible and near-infrared reflectances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate forcings in the Industrial era

TL;DR: Uncertainty in climate forcings have supplanted global climate sensitivity as the predominant issue for long-term climate projections: current trends in GHGClimate forcings are smaller than in popular "business as usual" or 1% per year CO2 growth scenarios.

A 1° × 1° distribution of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel consumption and cement manufacture, 1950–1990

TL;DR: One degree latitude by one degree longitude (1° × 1°) data sets of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel consumption and cement manufacture were produced for 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990 as mentioned in this paper.
