SDG Indicator 11.7.1: Urban Public Space, Availability and Access, 2023 Release
The SDG Indicator 11.7.1: Urban Public Space, Availability and Access, 2023 Release, part of the SDGI collection, measures the average share of the built-up area of a city that is open space for public use for all. UN SDG 11 is "make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable". Aside from environmental benefits, public space can also help improve public health, bolster commUnity, and encourage economic exchange. As one measure of progress towards SDG 11, the UN has established SDG indicator 11.7.1. The indicator was computed by measuring both the proportion of OpenStreetMap (OSM) public space within a given urban center and the proportion of WorldPop gridded population within 400 meters to Open Public Space (OPS). Cities were delineated using the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) Urban Center Database (GHS-UCDB). The SDG indicator 11.7.1 data set provides estimates of the average share of the built-up area of cities that is open space for public use for all for 8,873 urban centers across 180 countries.

Chang SSM/I Derived Monthly Rain Indices 5 x 5 degree V2.3 (RAIN_CHANG) at GES DISC
These data are transitioned to a state of permanent preservation. They are available upon request. More advanced datasets have been developed since. One recommended replacement is the GPCP (doi: 10.5067/DBVUO4KQHXTK) product developed under the MEaSUREs project. Futhermore, the NASA Precipitation Measurement Missions Project released newly processed SSM/I datasets as output from the GPROF (Goddard Profiling Algorithm). (doi: 10.5067/GPM/SSMI/F11/GPROFCLIM/2A/05, 10.5067/GPM/SSMI/F11/GPROFCLIM/3A-MONTH/05, 10.5067/GPM/SSMI/F11/GPROFCLIM/3A-DAY/05) The "RAIN_CHANG" SSM/I Derived Oceanic Monthly Rainfall Indices data set was an early Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) product. Monthly rainfall indices over the oceans were derived from Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites F8 and F11, on channels 19 and 22 V. The data set covered the period from July 1987 to December 1995. The monthly rainfall indices are on a 5 degree by 5 degree grid extending from 50 N to 50 S. The Wilheit, Chang and Chiu (1991) method used to derive the indices gives valid values only over ocean areas. Land pixels (including island pixels) and erroneous pixels return a -10 flag. The data are stored on a 72 x 20 grid. Grid point (1,1) contains the index for 45-50 N, 0-5 E, grid point (2,1) contains the index for 45-50 N, 5-10 E, ... and grid point (72,20) contains the index for 45-50 S, 175-180 W. In the data set, each month starts with an ASCII header to identify the year and month. The data is in 10F8.1 format. Each value is the average of AM and PM estimates and corrected for beam filling error. The equation used is: (AM PM)/2.0 * 1.8. Land pixels are set to -10.0. Also there are 33 pixels blocked out due to island contamination (-10.0). If the rain retrieval did not converge, a -10.0 is assigned to the pixel. The objective of this data set was to provide a long term monthly rainfall data set to be used in EOS global change and GEWEX related research.

Indicators of Coastal Water Quality: Annual Chlorophyll-a Concentration 1998-2007
The Annual Chlorophyll-a Concentrations component of the Indicators of Coastal Water Quality Collection consists of gridded satellite measurements of chlorophyll-a concentrations (in nanogram/cubic meter) in a band extending between 10 and 100 km from the shoreline. Chlorophyll-a concentrations are derived from NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). The grids are based on annual composites of SeaWiFS satellite data provided by the SeaWiFS Project, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and GeoEye in the form of HDF files at a resolution of 5 arc-minutes (approximately 9 x 9 km at the equator). The source files are true-color images generated from sub-sampled, calibrated, Rayleigh-corrected level-2 data, which are derived from raw radiance counts by applying sensor calibration, atmospheric corrections, and bio-optical algorithms. To arrive at chlorophyll-a concentrations, radiance counts were converted using the conversion formula provided as part of the original data files. The gridding is done by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
