The data represent 3 replicate measures of linear distance along 30 fixed transects on permanent subtidal monitoring sites around San Nicolas Island, CA. There were six sites, each of which had five 10-meter by 2-meter band transects on which a suite of kelps and macroinvertebrates was repeatedly counted over almost four decades. Although the transects are each approximately 10 m long, as measured with a meter tape extended between start and end eyebolts set in the sea floor, crevices, boulders, and reef structure provide much more than 20 square meters of surface area. In an effort to quantify the differences in rugosity between the transects, a 13 cm-circumference electronic surveyor’s wheel was used to measure the linear relief of each transect. Three replicate measurements were made per transect: down the lengthwise center and 1m away on each side of the center.

This dataset uses data provided from Washington State’s Housing Market, a publication of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research (WCRER) at the University of Washington.

Median sales prices represent that price at which half the sales in a county (or the state) took place at higher prices, and half at lower prices. Since WCRER does not receive sales data on individual transactions (only aggregated statistics), the median is determined by the proportion of sales in a given range of prices required to reach the midway point in the distribution. While average prices are not reported, they tend to be 15-20 percent above the median.

Movements in sales prices should not be interpreted as appreciation rates. Prices are influenced by changes in cost and changes in the characteristics of homes actually sold. The table on prices by number of bedrooms provides a better measure of appreciation of types of homes than the overall median, but it is still subject to composition issues (such as square footage of home, quality of finishes and size of lot, among others).

There is a degree of seasonal variation in reported selling prices. Prices tend to hit a seasonal peak in summer, then decline through the winter before turning upward again, but home sales prices are not seasonally adjusted. Users are encouraged to limit price comparisons to the same time period in previous years.

Current direction, temperature, and salinity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Gulf of Mexico from November 21, 1982 to August 1, 1983. Data were submitted by Texas A&M University as part of the Brine Disposal project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F005) format. Full current meter moorings descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f005.html.

The F005 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents obtained using moored current-measuring instruments, principally Aanderaa current meters (manufactured by Aanderaa Instruments Inc.). These data represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed mooring point and measure flow past the sensor. Position, water depth, and sensor depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of current direction and speed at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Other environmental parameters may also be reported. These include: water temperature, salinity, conductivity, and transmissivity; wind direction and speed; and dominant wave direction, height, and period. A text field is available for optional comments.

First commissioning data for the new laser doppler velocimetry (LDV) system that will be used at the Tyler Flume at the University of Washington. The LDV system can measure three components of velocity at a point. For this dataset the three components were operated in non-coincident mode and data were acquired at the center of the empty facility. Comparisons of freestream turbulence were made with a Vectrino slightly upstream of the LDV measurement location.

The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) established the Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) for the National Weather Service in the early 1980's. NDBC has installed approximately 50 C-MAN stations on lighthouses, at capes and beaches, on near shore islands, and on offshore platforms. NDBC has also deployed over 100 moored (a.k.a., weather) buoys in coastal and offshore waters from the western Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, and from the Bering Sea to the South Pacific. C-MAN and moored buoy data typically include barometric pressure, wind direction, speed and gust, and air temperature; however, some C-MAN stations are equipped to also measure seawater temperature, water level, waves, and relative humidity. Moored buoys measure wave energy spectra from which NDBC derives significant wave height, dominant wave period, and average wave period. In addition, many moored buoys measure the direction of wave propagation. In collaboration, NDBC and the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) -- formerly the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) -- are archiving these data from C-MAN and moored buoys. This collection is part of the collaboration and it contains both NODC F291 and netCDF (version 4) files with data collected from February 1970 through the present day.

The breakeven inflation rate represents a measure of expected inflation derived from 5-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Securities (BC_5YEAR) and 5-Year Treasury Inflation-Indexed Constant Maturity Securities (TC_5YEAR). The latest value implies what market participants expect inflation to be in the next 5 years, on average. Starting with the update on June 21, 2019, the Treasury bond data used in calculating interest rate spreads is obtained directly from the U.S. Treasury Department (https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=yield).

Ice-based buoys exist that can measure temperature profiles, but these are not optimized for observing the open sea. Thus the objective of this proposal is to fill this gap in the Arctic Observing Network (AON) measurement strategy, i.e., to measure the time history of summer warming and subsequent fall cooling of the seasonally open water areas of the Arctic Ocean. The PIs will focus on those areas with the greatest ice retreat, i.e., the northern Beaufort, Chukchi, East Siberian, and Laptev Seas. Their method will be to build up to 10 relatively inexpensive ocean thermistor string buoys per year, to be deployed in the seasonally ice-free regions of the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic-ADOS (Autonomous Drifting Ocean Station) buoy will float at the ocean surface, equipped with (i) a sea level pressure sensor, (ii) a 50 m long string of 11 thermistors, and (iii) a high precision conductivity/temperature pair at 5 m depth on some buoys for thermistor calibration. Data will be recorded every 2 hours and downloaded in near real time via Argos satellite to the web site of the International Arctic Buoy Program (IABP). Daily average and vertically interpolated data (to 1 m bins) will also be provided on the IABP website, and will be sent to data archives (Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service-CADIS and National Oceanographic Data Center-NODC). The PIs will also work with scientists at mission-oriented agencies to better incorporate ocean surface data into their global products such as Sea Surface Temperature analyses. Real-time data will also be made available to the operational community via the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). Buoy deployment will use existing assets such as C130 aircraft coordinated by the National Ice Center (NIC), ship cruises planned as part of other projects, and springtime ice surveys conducted by other projects and/or by the U.S. Navy north of Alaska.

The measures in the Water Industry National Environment Plan (WINEP) represent the investments required by water companies to meet their environmental obligations. The WINEP dataset is complex and not that easy to interpret. This layer is an extract of the database showing measures with an Urban Water Water Treatment Directive Driver symbolised by Measure Type (e.g. Intermittent or Continuous Discharge).The layer includes all actions in the WINEP that could be geo-located. Where a specific grid reference was not provided, but the waterbody ID was, the action has been geo-located to the center of the relevant waterbody. Actions that were geo-located to the waterbody centroid are shown as a grey dot without symbology to avoid misrepresenting location but to still allow people to click and see the action details.

This is an assessment of pedestrian accessibility in the world's main urban centers, aggregated at country level. Indicators include the average walking time to different categories of destinations, as well as the proportion of inhabitants that can access each category of services within a 15 minutes walk. The data is produced and maintained by the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) as part of the SDG Transformation Center.Pedestrian accessibility is the extent to which the built environment supports walking access to destinations of interest. This measure is particularly useful for assessing spatial justice in cities, usually represented by underpriviledged communities which are pushed to live in deteriorated urban areas receiving a minor share of public investments and thus low levels of accessibility. Monitoring spatial indicators of pedestrian accessibility helps planners and policymakers evaluate the impacts of urban design and transport interventions and guides targeted interventions towards creating healthy, sustainable cities, and achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Data SourcesTwo main sources of data are behind this study. OpenStreetMap is used to collect data on pedestrian infrastructure and geographically allocated places of interest (POI): hospitals, schools, supermarkets, restaurants, schools, etc. Pedestrian infrastructure networks are returned by the OpenStreetMap API as networks of nodes and edges, where each node represents a street intersection and each edge represents a segment of road with walkable features. Data on population density for every city is retrieved from the European Commission's 2020 Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) . This data is retrieved in the form of a grid of 100m by 100m squares and their associated population density values covering the entire world.Geographical extentThe geographical extent of a particular city or region often varies according to different authorities and interpretations. Novel projects, such as the Global Human Settlements (GHS) Urban Centres Database (UCDB), seek to establish a consistent, shared geographic definition of “urban centres” globally. This study does not consider municipal boundaries for defining city borders. Rather, it considers "Functional Urban Areas" as defined by the OECD and the European Commission . The boundaries of Functional Urban Areas consider urbanization factors such as commuting flows and population density, and are less arbitrary than municipal boundaries. For this reason, cities presented here may have a different (and often bigger) shape expected.Accessibility analysisTo measure accessibility to services for each city, we perform a network analysis on the pedestrian street networks and POIs data to quantify and map accessibility to urban infrastructure at the street intersection level. For each 100m cell from the population grid data, the resulting "walking time" reflects the time that a person residing inside that cell would have to walk for, using the existing pedestrian infrastructure, to reach the first amenity from a given category of services. The analysis was performed using geopandas and pandana python packages.These calculations were performed for all cities where at least one POI could be identified for each square kilometer. This threshold is applied in order to enforce representativity and accuracy. These scores were then be generalized for each urban center, by taking the population weighted average of the accessibility score for each point in the population grid.Code for generating these results is publicly available at: https://github.com/sdsna/sdg-accessibilityThis methodology was expanded from Nicoletti, L., Verma, T., Sirenko, M. (2022). Disadvantaged Communities Have Lower Access to Urban Infrastructure. Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, 0(0) and the CityAccessMap project.

The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments
