Matthew's GISS Global 1-Degree Vegetation, Land-use and Albedo Data

This dataset, from Elaine Matthews of NASA, contains six databases of global 1-degree data for use in climate studies. The six databases are a vegetation dataset representing natural vegetation, a land-use set defining the areal extent of cultivated land, and four surface albedo datasets for snow-free conditions (except for permanently snow-covered continental ice) for January, April, July, and October.

本数据集由美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的伊莱恩·马修斯（Elaine Matthews）提供，包含六组全球1°分辨率数据集，用于气候研究。六组数据集分别为：表征天然植被的植被数据集、界定耕地面积范围的土地利用数据集，以及分别对应1月、4月、7月、10月的四组无雪条件下（永久积雪的大陆冰体除外）地表反照率数据集。
