Submitted Jan 30, 2017 (Edited Jan 30, 2017) to Scientific Data Energetic particle data from the CXD and BDD instrument on the Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation are available to the space weather research community. The release of these data supports the National Space Weather Action Plan which was recently published by the Executive Office of the President's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
For an overview of the data, see onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi.../10.1002/2017SW001604/full |

Submitted Jan 25, 2017 to Scientific Data President-elect Donald Trump has stated that he intends to undo most or all of the Obama administration’s efforts to address climate change. The Sabin Center has launched this tracker to identify and explain steps taken by the incoming administration to scale back or wholly eliminate federal climate mitigation and adaptation measures. The tracker will also monitor congressional efforts to repeal statutory provisions, regulations, and guidance pertaining to climate change, and to otherwise undermine climate action.

Submitted Jan 24, 2017 to Scientific Data Global Flood Map is an interactive map that uses NASA satellite data to show the areas of the world under water and at risk for flooding if ocean levels rise. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), sea levels have been rising about 3 mm per year since 1993 – totaling a 200 mm increase (7.87 inches) in global averaged sea level since 1870.

Submitted Jan 23, 2017 to Scientific Data Since 1951, 41 nations have engaged in the construction of 754 nuclear reactors. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has created an interactive visualization on nuclear power reactor construction that shows the distribution of nuclear reactors by geography, year, and degrees of development or abandonment.

Submitted Jan 19, 2017 to Scientific Data Data collected through the routine operations and scientific field experiments of the ARM Climate Research Facility are stored at and distributed through the Archive. These data are available free of charge to the public and can be accessed through any of the interfaces below. Upon selection of an interface, a new window will ask you to sign in, or, if not already registered with the Archive, to complete the free and easy registration process. The new Unified Data Discovery Interface with built-in Data Browser capability. New interface allows filtered and faceted search logic, multi-pass data selection, filtering data based on data quality, graphical views of data quality and availability, direct access to data quality reports, and data plots.

Submitted Jan 19, 2017 to Scientific Data The Library of Congress, California Digital Library, University of North Texas Libraries, Internet Archive, George Washington University Libraries, Stanford University Libraries, and the U.S. Government Publishing Office have joined together for a collaborative project to preserve public United States Government web sites at the end of the current presidential administration ending January 20, 2017. This harvest is intended to document federal agencies' presence on the World Wide Web during the transition of Presidential administrations and to enhance the existing collections of the partner institutions.

Submitted Jan 19, 2017 to Scientific Data DataRefuge helps to build refuge for federal data and supports climate and environmental research and advocacy. We are committed to fact-based arguments. DataRefuge preserves the facts we need at a time of ongoing climate change.
This site is one part of the project. The vast majority of the government information gathered through this project is available from the Internet Archive through the End of Term project. This data catalog is a place to store data that is difficult or impossible to harvest through web crawlers. Beginning to add difficult data to this websites is one of the tasks of the DataRescuePhilly event on January 13th and 14th, 2017. |
Submitted Jan 17, 2017 to Scientific Data A dataset of 3,250,404 measurements, collated from 26,114 sampling locations in 94 countries and representing 47,044 species. The data were collated from 480 existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world. The database was assembled as part of the PREDICTS project - Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems; www.predicts.org.uk.
The taxonomic identifications provided in the original data sets are those determined at the time of the original research, and so will not reflect subsequent taxonomic changes. |
Submitted Jan 17, 2017 to Scientific Data CeNCOOS is the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System, we are part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) covering all coastal areas throughout the United States. A large number of data acquisition technologies and parameters are represented in our database, from satellites to buoys, from pH to winds and algal blooms, and more. Find and visualize data suing the catalog search and map display.

Submitted Jan 16, 2017 to Scientific Data SDO is the main gallery of the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. The Solar Dynamics Observatory is the first mission to be launched for NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) Program, a program designed to understand the causes of solar variability and its impacts on Earth. SDO is designed to help us understand the Sun's influence on Earth and Near-Earth space by studying the solar atmosphere on small scales of space and time and in many wavelengths simultaneously.

Submitted Jan 16, 2017 to Scientific Data The NDC Explorer is an online tool to analyse and compare both countries' Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) and National Determined Contributions (NDCs) to greenhouse gas emissions. It is based solely on information in these documents.
The NDC Explorer has two aims. First, it provides a neutral, sophisticated and user-friendly lens to analyse and compare both qualitative and quantitative (I)NDC content. Second, the NDC Explorer stimulates the debate on content, scope as well as formulation and implementation processes of the national climate action plans. In doing so, it supports policy makers in formulating improved and more ambitious (I)NDCs in 2020 and thereafter. |
Submitted Jan 15, 2017 to Scientific Data The "classic" legacy of oceanographic expeditions has been the publication of atlases of the data. For many people these atlases define what the ocean looks like and how it behaves. Now we have WOCE, the largest oceanographic expedition ever mounted. In comparison to earlier efforts, WOCE has a broader scope, greatly increased horizontal and vertical sampling density, improved accuracy and precision and a greater abundance of properties sampled. It is unlikely that such a set of data will be bettered or even repeated soon. We are therefore producing a series of four atlases, concentrating respectively on the hydrography of the Pacific, Indian, Atlantic and Southern Oceans. The volumes each have three main components: Full-depth sections, horizontal maps of properties on density surfaces and depth levels, and property-property plots (see the sample plots section). The vertical sections feature potential temperature, salinity, potential density, neutral density, oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, CFC-11, d3He, tritium, 14C, 13C, total alkalinity and total carbon dioxide, against depth along the WOCE Hydrographic Programme one-time lines.

Submitted Jan 15, 2017 to Scientific Data The Vault is the FBI's new FOIA Library, containing 6,700 documents and other media that have been scanned from paper into digital copies.
Included are many new FBI files that have been released to the public but never added to this website; dozens of records previously posted on the FBI website but removed as requests diminished; files from the FBI's previous FOIA Library, and new, previously unreleased files. |

Submitted Jan 15, 2017 to Scientific Data The MNIST database of handwritten digits, available from this page, has a training set of 60,000 examples, and a test set of 10,000 examples. It is a subset of a larger set available from NIST. The digits have been size-normalized and centered in a fixed-size image.
It is a good database for people who want to try learning techniques and pattern recognition methods on real-world data while spending minimal efforts on preprocessing and formatting. |
