A spatially-explicit database of wind disturbances in European forests over the period 2000-2018

We present a database of wind disturbances in European forests (FORWIND). The data set corresponds the data presented in the paper “A spatially-explicit database of wind disturbances in European forests over the period 2000-2018” which has been submitted to Earth System Science Data (https://www.earth-system-science-data.net/).FORWIND comprises more than 80,000 spatially delineated areas in Europe that were disturbed by wind in the period 2000-2018, and describes them in a harmonized and consistent geographical vector format. The FORWIND dataset contains records as polygon features in shapefile format (.shp). The geometry of a feature is stored as a shape comprising a set of vector coordinates corresponding to the boundaries of the area of a given wind disturbance. Records are georeferenced in geographical coordinates, i.e. latitude and longitude, following the WGS84 standard (EPSG:4326). Basic attributes of each disturbance are provided in an associated table, stored in a .dbf file and include: * identifier code (Id_poly)* date of event (EventDate) * storm name (StormName)* type of event (EventType) * country (Country)* area affected [in hectares] (Area)* perimeter [in meters] (Perimeter) * damage degree [in %] (Damage_deg)* acquisition method (Methods)* data provider (Dataprovid)* source (Source) Missing data are reported as -999.<br> Correspondence to: Giovanni Forzieri ([e-mail])<br>

本研究构建了欧洲森林风灾数据库（FORWIND）。该数据集对应于已投稿至《Earth System Science Data》（https://www.earth-system-science-data.net/）的论文《2000-2018年欧洲森林风灾空间显式数据库》中的数据。
FORWIND包含2000-2018年间欧洲境内8万余处经空间划定的风灾扰动区域，并以统一规范的地理矢量格式对其进行描述。
FORWIND数据集以形状文件（shapefile，.shp）格式存储多边形要素记录。单个要素的几何形态以矢量坐标集形式存储，对应单处风灾扰动区域的边界轮廓。
所有记录均采用WGS84坐标系（EPSG:4326）下的地理坐标（即纬度与经度）进行地理配准。
每个风灾事件的基础属性存储于关联的.dbf属性表中，具体包含：
* 标识码（Id_poly）
* 事件发生日期（EventDate）
* 风暴名称（StormName）
* 事件类型（EventType）
* 受灾国家（Country）
* 受灾面积[单位：公顷]（Area）
* 灾害边界周长[单位：米]（Perimeter）
* 灾害损失程度[单位：百分比]（Damage_deg）
* 数据获取方式（Methods）
* 数据提供方（Dataprovid）
* 数据来源（Source）
缺失数据以-999标记。
