Climate Social Responsibility.
Don't get confused with the common CSR - corporate social responsibility :) because I'm introducing CSR as Climate Social Responsibility here.
As a teenager, I had always dreamt about future career in technology for actionable, life-saving insights. I found myself spending undergrad time in Department of Geophysics and Meteorology of IPB. Ever since, environment and climate issues have always drawn my interest. In my last two years of undergrad, I combined my interest in climate issues with my passion in drawing+coloring, I was introduced to the beauty of geospatial application for climate studies. Luckily I then work in the field that I'm interested in.
I dont mean to break the law, I understand that meteorological bureau in each country has the absolute authority to provide climate-related data/information under the government regulation, so let's just take this as a second opinion and alternative to ground observation. This is what a graduate of agriculture meteorology try contribute to the fields he’s interested in.
Enjoy!
Data
Data and information play an important role in decision making. Furthermore I specifically talk about the geographical data related to place and position on the earth. In spite of the limited availability of geographical data in the internet, this data is considerably important for visualisation, planning and decision support system in all administrative level including local, regional, national and global.
You can find specific products through the topic below. I will continue to upload new data, so please check this page regularly for updates.
This data catalogue is established as a repository for climate and vegetation datasets. I try to always provide the latest selected data collection. By doing so, I would like to promote data sharing and open sources in order to encourage more data exploration and analysis.
Vector data comes in ESRI shapefile format, raster data comes in TIFF format and sometimes with a TFW world file. All data use the Geographic coordinate system (projection) EPSG:4326, WGS84 datum
+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs
Some data also used Projected coordinate system EPSG:3395 WGS84 / World Mercator
+proj=merc +lon_0=0 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
All users who are downloading the data from this website are highly encouraged to read about data sources and manipulation in the About the data section. I provide all the data as a public service and are not responsible for any problems relating to accuracy, content, design, and how it is used. If you find an error or omission, please report it for future updates.
