  • The project aim was to develop process-based computer simulations of the dispersal of Homo erectus out of Africa. This involved developing realistic constraints on the patterns of vegetation and the effects of changes in global sea level. It was assumed that this migration out of Africa could be investigated through the paradigm of a single migration event, starting around 2 millions of years ago and arriving in Dmanisi around 1.8 millions of years ago. The data archived here consists of the vegetation patterns used in constructing the simulations and the patterns of climate variability used to constrain the variations in sea level and vegetation change. From these data it is possible to reproduce the simulation results. Simulation results are available from J.K. Hughes, A. Haywood, S.J. Mithen, B.W. Sellwood, P.J. Valdes (In Press) Investigating Early Hominin Dispersal Patterns : developing a framework for climate data integration. Journal Of Human Evolution.

  • NERC EFCHED project, no data delivered aside from metadata.

  • The Airborne Research & Survey Facility (ARSF, formerly Airborne Remote Sensing Facility) is managed by NERC Scientific Services and Programme Management. It provides the UK environmental science community, and other potential users, with the means to obtain remotely-sensed data in support of research, survey and monitoring programmes. The ARSF is a unique service providing environmental researchers, engineers and surveyors with synoptic analogue and digital imagery of high spatial and spectral resolution.The NEODC holds the entire archive of Airborne Thematic Mapper (ATM) and Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) data acquired by the NERC ARSF. High-resolution scanned digital versions of the entire collection of analogue photographs are now also available as well as selected LiDAR-derived elevation and terrain models for selected sites flown using the sensor.

  • This dataset includes reflectance spectra of oilseed rape collected from Big Croft field, near Chilbolton, as part of the Network for Calibration and Validation of EO data (NCAVEO) 2006 Field Campaign. The data was collected on the 18th June, using an ASD N4406 instrument. Please note that all raw spectra files collected during the NCAVEO campaign (labelled ***R_ASD0606**.***) have incorrect dates, indicating them to have been collected in July rather than June. The day of month and time (UTC) are correct in all cases. All other files (FSF spreadsheets and Excel/ENVI summary outputs) are also marked with the correct 15-18th June 2006 dates.

  • ARSF project 03/28 led by Kayte Royse. Site: Bath.

  • The HadGEM1 model is the Met Office Hadley centre global environment model version 1. This version of the model includes a detailed representation of the atmosphere, land surface, ocean, and cryosphere. This dataset includes a control run and a number of climate change experiments. Part of the UK Met Office Hadley Centre's contributions to the fourth assessment report of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was based on the HadGEM1 model. This dataset provides all the available data from the control integration (run with preindustrial levels of CO2 and other forcings) as well as output from a number of climate change experiments. The data is provided in the Met Office PP format, but tools are available to extract subsets in NetCDF and other formats.

  • MOHSST, (Met Office Historical Sea-Surface Temperature) is a gridded dataset of sea-surface temperature anomalies covering the period 1856-2006. MOHSST has now been superceeded by HadSST2. We now recommend use of HadSST2 instead of MOHSST for all purposes. MOHSST is only still available in case it is needed for direct comparison with earlier work where MOHSST was used. MOHSST is produced by taking in-situ measurements of SST from ships and buoys, rejecting measurements which which fail quality checks, converting the measurements to anomalies by subtracting climatological values from the measurements, and averaging the resulting anomalies on a 5 by 5 degree monthly grid. Up to 1996 the measurements used are those in the U.K. Marine Data Bank; more recent years use data coming in through the GTS. After gridding the anomalies, bias corrections are applied to remove spurious trends caused by changes in SST measuring practices, and the data are smoothed to reduce noise. The data were provided by the Met Office Hadley Centre.

  • Integrated water vapour (IWV) data from the Met Office's GPS instrument located at the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility, Capel Dewi, near Aberystwyth in West Wales. These data are restricted (please use the apply for access link) and made available under the NERC-Met Office agreement.
