Datasets Overview

This section answers: Which datasets can flow through the cube grammar and how do they differ? Use it to compare coverage, cadence, and variables before committing to a workflow.

In this section you'll find: - Loader entry points for climate, vegetation, and fire datasets. - Notes on spatial and temporal semantics that affect alignment. - Links to compatibility, selection guidance, and citation details.

Key links: - Which dataset should I use? - Compatibility matrix - Dataset citations - gridMET - PRISM - Sentinel-2 NDVI - Landsat 8 (MPC) - FIRED

Supported datasets at a glance

  • gridMET: Daily CONUS meteorology for climate summaries and anomalies.
  • PRISM: Terrain-aware precipitation and temperature with long-term consistency.
  • Sentinel-2 NDVI: 10 m vegetation condition with 5-day revisit.
  • Landsat 8 (MPC): 30 m surface reflectance streamed from Microsoft Planetary Computer.
  • FIRED: Event-level and daily fire perimeters for fire-aware analyses.
