  • The dataset ‘Future projections of the hydrology of the Philippines’ provides climate change scenarios from 1980-2089 using UKCP18 scenarios RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 run through the Philippine National Hydrological model. Each relative concentration pathway (RCP) scenario contains 15 ensemble members, and we present a total of 30 model runs from 1980-2089. The model simulates evapotranspiration, runoff, infiltration, soil moisture, river baseflow and groundwater levels. Aggregated variables at a monthly time interval are provided in this dataset in NetCDF format for each RCP and scenario or aggregated to provincial level in csv format. The provincial levels are based on the first level subdivisions from GADM (https://gadm.org/maps/PHL_1.html).

  • These data are a copy of MODIS data from the NASA Level-1 and Atmosphere Archive & Distribution System (LAADS) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC). The copy is potentially only a subset. Below is the description from https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/missions-and-measurements/products/MCD15A2H The level-4 MODIS global Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) product is composited every 8 days at 1-kilometer resolution on a Sinusoidal grid. Science Data Sets provided in the MCD15A2H include LAI, FPAR, a quality assurance rating, and standard deviation for each variable. The LAI variable defines the number of equivalent layers of leaves relative to a unit of ground area, whereas FPAR measures the proportion of available radiation in the photosynthetically active wavelengths that are absorbed by a canopy. Both variables are used as satellite-derived parameters for calculating surface photosynthesis, evapotranspiration, and net primary production, which in turn are used to calculate terrestrial energy, carbon, water cycle processes, and biogeochemistry of vegetation. Collection-5 MODIS Combined Terra and Aqua LAI products are Validated Stage 2, accuracy has been assessed over a widely distributed set of locations and time periods via several ground-truth and validation efforts. Collection-5 MODIS/Terra FPAR products are Validated Stage 1, meaning that accuracy has been estimated using a small number of independent measurements obtained from selected locations and time periods and ground-truth/field program efforts. Although there may be later improved versions, these data are ready for use in scientific publications.
