Climate hydrology and ecology research support system meteorology dataset for Great Britain (1961-2015) [CHESS-met] v1.2
1km resolution gridded meteorological variables over Great Britain for the years 1961-2015. This dataset contains time series of daily mean values of air temperature (K), specific humidity (kg kg-1), wind speed (m s-1), downward longwave radiation (W m-2), downward...

Geochemical Baseline Survery of the Environment for the UK [G-BASE]
Natural abundances of chemical elements in stream sediments, stream water and soil samples systematically collected since 1968. The average sample density for stream sediments and water is about one site per 1.5-2km square, and for soils one site per 2km square. The...
Meteorological Office Rainfall and Evaporation Calculation System (MORECS version 2.0)
Evaporation and soil moisture deficit for the UK calculated by MO using meteorological observations. The output can be for a single site or as averaged over 40 x 40 km grid which cover the UK. The data can be supplied at daily, weekly or monthly time resolution.
EA Detailed River Network (DRN)
Large-scale, accurate and fully attributed digital river centreline covering England and Wales. The dataset has full-feature network geometry cross-referenced with OS MasterMap following Digital National Framework principles. The dataset has full-feature network geometry...
Water chemistry data for the River Frome, Dorset, UK, from 1965-2009
Data from weekly water quality monitoring of the River Frome at East Stoke, Dorset (National Grid Reference SY 867868). The dataset consists of nitrate, soluble reactive phosphorus, dissolved silicon, pH, alkalinity, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium concentrations...
Pesticide Usage Survey (1986 -2015)
This survey by Fera is commissioned to conduct agricultural, horticultural and amenity pesticide usage surveys by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) of the Health and Safety Executive. The reports have many important uses such as informing pesticide risk assessment...
Case Study 2: Effectiveness of land management policies and agri-environment interventions for reducing pollutant loads and maintaining environmental quality at the national scale.
The impacts of the suite of Countryside Stewardship options were reductions in national agricultural pollution of over 6% (nitrate) and 10% (phosphorus). Accounting for non-agricultural sources of pollution reduced the net overall impact of the options to 4% (nitrate)...
Case Study 3: Costs and benefits of mitigation measures to reduce pollutant concentrations for the protection of drinking water in river-systems upstream of intakes.
Using the water quality models, SAGIS-SIMCAT and SWAT, a reduction in the risk of exceeding drinking water quality standards at a water treatment works intake was shown for nutrients and metaldehyde as a result of introducing farm measures. The costs of these measures...
Case Study 1: Multiple pollutant and ecosystem services responses to land management policies and agri-environment interventions at the farm to catchment scale.
This case study examines potential trade-offs and co-benefits for a suite of ecosystem services at the farm to catchment scale that may be potential ‘by-products’ of an agri-environment scheme designed to reduce total multi-pollutant loads entering watercourses.
SEPA Effluent Monitoring Sites
Dataset of 2160 effluent monitoring sites in Scotland monitored by SEPA for a variety of purposes. The dataset consists of site locations (on land or at sea) in British National Grid or Lat/Long WGS84, describing aspects of each site and the monitoring activity including:...
Case Study 7: Interpolation of model outputs and data from catchment to national scales and monitored to non-monitored sites
This case study uses a Dynamic Typology Tool (DTT) to combine spatially explicit datasets describing landscape character and management and identify homologous areas of agricultural potential, natural environment quality and risk. The DTT provides national coverage...
Continuous measurements of meteorological parameters (2010-2014) [Wensum DTC]
Continuous measurements of meteorological parameters from the Wensum Demonstration Test Catchment, in Norfolk, recorded between 2010 and 2014. Automatic weather stations were installed at 2 sites (AWS 1 in Swan Hills and AWS2 in Black Bridge) in this catchment to record...
FARMSCOPER (Farm Scale Optimisation of Pollutant Emission Reductions)
Farmscoper is a decision support tool that allows an assessment of the cost and effectiveness of agricultural mitigation methods on multiple pollutants. It incorporates meta-models of a number of different pollutant models which have previously been used for government...
National Water Inventory for Scotland (NWIS)
The National Waters Inventory for Scotland (NWIS) consists of surface and groundwater samples gathered over a 2 year timespan and analysed using novel analytical approaches not normally available from routine monitoring programmes. Measurements include: - Isotopic...
NEXTMap Digital Terrain Model of Great Britain
5 metre resolution digital elevation model of Great Britain, available as a height model of the bare Earth surface (digital terrain model, DTM) and a height model of natural terrain features (digital surface model). The horizontal accuracy is +/- 2.5m on slopes less...
Land Cover Map 2007 (1km percentage target class, GB) v1.2
This dataset consists of a 1km resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2007 for Great Britain. The raster consists of 23 bands. Within each band, each 1km pixel represents a percentage cover value for one of 23 target classes, broadly representing Broad Habitats...

Land Cover Map 2000 (1km dominant target class, GB)
This dataset consists of a 1km resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2000 for Great Britain. Each 1km pixel represents the dominant target class (or 'sub class') across the 1km area. The target classes broadly represent Broad Habitats (see below). The dataset...
Land Cover Map 1990 (25m raster, GB)
This dataset consists of the 25m raster version of the Land Cover Map 1990 (LCM1990) for Great Britain. The 25m raster product consists of three bands: Band 1 - raster representation of the majority (dominant) class per polygon for 21 target classes; Band 2 - mean per...
