The Soil and Terrain database for China primary data (version 1.0), at scale 1:1 million (SOTER_China), was compiled of enhanced soil information within the framework of the FAO's program of Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA). The primary database was compiled using the SOTER methodology. The SOTER unit delineation was based on a raster format of the soil map of China, correlated and converted to FAO’s Revised Legend (1988), in combination with a SOTER landform characterization derived from Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) 90 m digital elevation model (DEM). Reference profiles for the dominant soil of the SOTER units has been directly linked to the polygons. SOTER forms a part of the ongoing activities of ISRIC, FAO and UNEP to update the world's baseline information on natural resources.The project involved collaboration with national soil institutes from the countries in the region as well as individual experts.

The Soil and Terrain Database for Northeastern Africa contains land resource information on soils, physiography, geology and vegetation for the following ten countries: Burundi, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. The information is accessible with an easy-to-use viewer program and is also stored in vector Arc/Info export format. Information on individual soil properties with class values is also given. A land suitability assessment for irrigated and upland crops for each unit is included. The scale ofthe source material is variable and ranges between 1:1 million and 1:2 million. A user manual for the viewer program and background information on the collected and correlated land resource materials are contained in filed documents.

Soils are classified in the Revised Legend; physiographic and lithology information was collected using an earlier draft version of the SOTER manual.

The Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) -- Sudan, Kenya, Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda, Eritrea, Ethiopia -- Crop Production System Zones (CPSZ) software is a detailed database that provides background information about actual farming in the region. It comes with a program (CVIEW, a CPSZ viewer) that displays maps, zooms in and out, and provides export facilities for the maps in image format and for the actual data in text format. The elementary mapping unit is a compromise between administrative units and agro-ecological zones: whenever steep agro-ecological gradients exist, administrative units are subdivided, thus resulting in 1200 mapping units that are homogeneous from an agro-ecological point of view, while retaining the compatibility with the administrative units used for most socio-economic variables in agricultural planning.

The just over 500 mappable variables are subdivided into several categories covering the spectrum from agronomy and livestock to the physical environment. For each mapping unit, detailed information is also presented on the crop calendar, typical yields and main pests and diseases.

This CD-ROM contains a collection of land and natural resource information for Northeastern Africa, in particular for the IGAD countries bordering the Nile basin. It includes data on administrative boundaries, rivers and lakes, soil and terrain, climatology, land use, physiography, geology and natural vegetation in easily accessible format.

The SOTER_Nepal database provides generalized information on landform and soil properties at a scale 1:1 million. It consists of 17 SOTER units, ... characterized by 56 representative and four synthetic profiles for which there are no measured soil data. The SOTER database includes also attribute data of 99 profiles initially selected as references to soil components that have already a representative profile. SOTER forms a part of the ongoing activities of ISRIC and FAO to update the world's baseline information on natural resources.The project involved collaboration with national soil institutes from the countries in the region as well as individual experts

Terrain data, as defined in FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix M: Data Capture Standards, describes the digital topographic data that was used to create the elevation data representing the terrain environment of a watershed and/or floodplain. Terrain data requirements allow for flexibility in the types of information provided as sources used to produce final terrain deliverables. Once this type of data is provided, FEMA will be able to account for the origins of the flood study elevation data. (Source: FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix M, Section M.1.4).

The LIDAR Composite DTM (Digital Terrain Model) is a raster elevation model covering ~99% of England at 1m spatial resolution.The DTM (Digital Terrain Model) is produced from the last or only laser pulse returned to the sensor. We remove surface objects from the Digital Surface Model (DSM), using bespoke algorithms and manual editing of the data, to produce a terrain model of just the surface. Produced by the Environment Agency in 2022, the DTM is derived from a combination of our Time Stamped archive and National LIDAR Programme surveys, which have been merged and re-sampled to give the best possible coverage. Where repeat surveys have been undertaken the newest, best resolution data is used. Where data was resampled a bilinear interpolation was used before being merged. The 2022 LIDAR Composite contains surveys undertaken between 6th June 2000 and 2nd April 2022. Please refer to the metadata index catalgoues which show for any location which survey was used in the production of the LIDAR composite.DEFRA Data Services Platform Metadata URLDefra Network WMS server provided by the Environment Agency

The Soil and Terrain database for Kenya (KENSOTER), version 2.0, at scale 1:1 million, replaces version 1.0 . The update include changes in the GIS file and in the attribute database. The topographic base of KENSOTER was adapted to a version congruent to the Digital Chart of the World. The KENSOTER attribute database has changed with respect to the number of pedons stored and pedon attributes. The KENSOTER version 2.0 database contains a number of measured soil moisture contents at various tensions.

The Soil and Terrain Database for Latin America and the Caribbean (SOTERLAC) was created through a joint project involving the Food and Agriculure Organization of the United Nations (FAO) [http://www.fao.org], the International soil Reference Centre (ISRIC) [http://www.isric.org], the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) [http://www.unep.org], and the national governments of Latin America and the Caribbean. This soils database is created using the Soil and Terrain Database (SOTER) methodology to update the 1:5M Soil Map of the World (SMW) of FAO/Unesco.

For the entire project area, a map at scale 1:5 million with SOTER units has been compiled. It has a total of 1490 mapping units, divided over 2823 polygons. The 1490 SOTER units are further defined by 2008 terrain components. Every terrain component consists of one or more soil components, amounting to a total of 3580. Representative soil profiles have been selected for all soil components from a wide range of sources. A total of 1828 soil profiles can be found in the database. The total number of horizons of these profiles is 6525.

For 12 percent of the soil components, no newer information on soils than that could be extracted from the FAO-Unesco SMW was available. These components do not have a profile. This is, for example, the case in a larger part of Chile.

Most attributes in the various tables are complete or nearly so with the exception of bulk density in the horizon table. With only 40% measured, this attribute has the lowest occurrence. Another gap exists in the coordinates of the location of the profiles. In some countries such information could not be found (e.g. Argentina). Other attributes missing are elevation and date of description/sampling.

The map has been drawn on the topography of the original FAO-Unesco SMW as available in digital and hardcopy form. Mapping units (SOTER units have been digitized in ARC/Info) and the attribute data are stored in a relational database system (compatible with most commercial software). A special input software package was compiled for entering attribute data and creating the appropriate tables.

Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) is an instrument designed to view Earth with cameras pointed in 9 different directions. As the instrument flies overhead, each piece of Earth's surface below is successively imaged by all 9 cameras, in each of 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared). The goal of MISR is to improve our understanding of the fate of sunlight in Earth environment, as well as distinguish different types of clouds, particles and surfaces. Specifically, MISR monitors the monthly, seasonal, and long-term trends in three areas: 1) amount and type of atmospheric particles (aerosols), including those formed by natural sources and by human activities; 2) amounts, types, and heights of clouds, and 3) distribution of land surface cover, including vegetation canopy structure. MISR Level 1B2 Terrain Data V003 contains Terrain-projected TOA Radiance, resampled at the surface and topographically corrected, as well as geometrically corrected by PGE22.

The USGS and the NGA have collaborated on the development of a notably enhanced global elevation model named the GMTED2010 that replaces GTOPO30 as the elevation dataset of choice for global and continental scale applications. The new model has been generated at three separate resolutions (horizontal post spacings) of 30 arc-seconds (about 1 kilometer), 15 arc-seconds (about 500 meters), and 7.5 arc-seconds (about 250 meters). This new product suite provides global coverage of all land areas from lat 84°N to 56°S for most products, and coverage from 84°N to 90°S for several products. Some areas, namely Greenland and Antarctica, do not have data available at the 15- and 7.5-arc-second resolutions because the input source data do not support that level of detail. An additional advantage of the new multi-resolution global model over GTOPO30 is that seven new raster elevation products are available at each resolution.
