Global Soil Types, 1-Degree Grid (Zobler)

A global digital data base of soil properties is available at 1 degree longitude resolution. For each land cell, the data base includes major and associated soil units, surface texture, and slope; phase and miscellaneous land units are included where available. The data base was compiled as part of an effort to improve modeling of the hydrologic cycle in the GISS Genreal Circulation Model.

全球土壤属性数字数据库以1度经度分辨率提供。对于每个陆地单元，数据库中包含了主要土壤单元及其相关单元、地表纹理和坡度；在可用的情况下，还包括了相态和杂项土地单元。该数据库的编制是作为提升GISS（地球系统研究所）通用环流模型中水文学循环建模质量的一部分工作。
