ARSF project 04/19: The impact of managed retreat for inter-tidal habitat restoration. PI: S. Winterbottom. Site: Nigg Bay.

This dataset consists of a global daily analysis of surface air temperature for the whole Earth since 1850, based on combined information from satellite and in situ data sources, including uncertainty estimates. This is v1.0 of the product, which has been compiled as part of the European Union Horizon 2020 EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project. This product provides global mean air temperature data on a regular lat-lon grid with a grid spacing of 0.25 degrees, and provides daily data from 1850 to 2015. Uncertainty estimates are also provided, with both a 'total' uncertainty, and an ensemble of 10 samples. The mean temperature data and uncertainty estimates provided are consistent across a broad range of space and time scales from daily 0.25° to multidecadal global averages. The coverage is significantly better than is available from station data alone, and covers land, ocean and ice areas. This data has been derived using a statistical method to estimate air temperatures at all places and times. It takes into account uncertainty in the input data sets covering errors in the in situ measurements, land station homogenisation and errors in the air temperatures estimated from satellite data . Although the statistical model estimates temperatures at all locations, the product is not globally complete, as areas with too few data to provide a reliable air temperature estimate have been masked out.

ARSF project GB07/07: Hyperspectral and Phenological Characterisation of Upland Heather Dominated Ecological Communities. Led by: Dr. Tim Malthus, School of Geosciences, University of Edinburgh, Grant Inst., King's Buildings Edinburgh, EH3 9JW. Location: Inverclyde, Scotland, UK.

Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) mission was funded jointly by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change External Link (DECC) and the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research External Link (DIISR). This dataset contains the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer on ESA ENVISAT satellite (AATSR) Gridded Brightness Temperature/Reflectance (GBTR) Product. These data are the Level 1B product that consists of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiance measurements and brightness temperatures at full resolution for both the nadir and forward views. The product is calibrated for instrumental and atmospheric effects and re-sampled to a fixed grid aligned to the sub-satellite track. This product is derived from the Level 0 product and auxiliary data, and serves as the input data for all Level 2 products. The third reprocessing was done to implement the updated algorithms, processors (the IPF Processor 6.05 from the IPF Processor 6.01), and auxiliary files.

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.
