ESA Lakes Climate Change Initiative (Lakes_cci): Lake products, Version 1.1

This dataset contains various global lake products (1992-2019) produced by the European Space Agency (ESA) Lakes Climate Change Initiative (Lakes_cci) project. This is version 1.1 of the dataset. Lakes are of significant interest to the scientific community, local to national governments, industries and the wider public. A range of scientific disciplines including hydrology, limnology, climatology, biogeochemistry and geodesy are interested in distribution and functioning of the millions of lakes (from small ponds to inland seas), from the local to the global scale. Remote sensing provides an opportunity to extend the spatio-temporal scale of lake observation. The five thematic climate variables included in this dataset are: • Lake Water Level (LWL): a proxy fundamental to understand the balance between water inputs and water loss and their connection with regional and global climate changes. • Lake Water Extent (LWE): a proxy for change in glacial regions (lake expansion) and drought in many arid environments, water extent relates to local climate for the cooling effect that water bodies provide. • Lake Surface Water temperature (LSWT): correlated with regional air temperatures and a proxy for mixing regimes, driving biogeochemical cycling and seasonality. • Lake Ice Cover (LIC): freeze-up in autumn and advancing break-up in spring are proxies for gradually changing climate patterns and seasonality. • Lake Water-Leaving Reflectance (LWLR): a direct indicator of biogeochemical processes and habitats in the visible part of the water column (e.g. seasonal phytoplankton biomass fluctuations), and an indicator of the frequency of extreme events (peak terrestrial run-off, changing mixing conditions). Data generated in the Lakes_cci project are derived from data from multiple instruments and multiple satellites including; TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason, ENVISAT, SARAL, Sentinel, Landsat, ERS, Terra/Aqua, Suomi NPP, Metop and Orbview.

本数据集包含欧洲空间局（European Space Agency, ESA）湖泊气候变化倡议（Lakes Climate Change Initiative, Lakes_cci）项目产出的1992年至2019年全球各类湖泊数据集，版本号为1.1。
湖泊是科学界、地方至国家各级政府、产业界以及广大公众共同关注的重要对象。包括水文学、湖沼学、气候学、生物地球化学以及大地测量学在内的多个学科领域，均关注从局部到全球尺度下数百万个湖泊（从小型池塘到内陆海）的分布与运行机制。遥感技术为拓展湖泊观测的时空尺度提供了可能。
本数据集包含五类核心气候主题变量：
• 湖泊水位（Lake Water Level, LWL）：作为理解水体收支平衡及其与区域、全球气候变化关联的基础替代指标。
• 湖泊水域面积（Lake Water Extent, LWE）：可作为冰川区域变化（湖泊扩张）以及多数干旱环境中干旱状况的替代指标；水域面积还与局地气候相关，因水体能够提供降温效应。
• 湖泊表面水温（Lake Surface Water Temperature, LSWT）：与区域气温存在相关性，可作为水体混合状态的替代指标，驱动生物地球化学循环与季节变化。
• 湖泊冰盖（Lake Ice Cover, LIC）：秋季封冻与春季解冻提前，可作为气候模式与季节特征逐步变化的替代指标。
• 水体离水反射率（Lake Water-Leaving Reflectance, LWLR）：是水柱可见光区域内生物地球化学过程与栖息地状况的直接指示因子（例如季节性浮游植物生物量波动），同时可用于表征极端事件的发生频率（如峰值地表径流、混合条件变化）。
本项目产出的数据来源于多仪器、多卫星平台，包括TOPEX/Poseidon、Jason、ENVISAT、SARAL、Sentinel、Landsat、ERS、Terra/Aqua、Suomi NPP、Metop以及Orbview。更多详细信息请参阅文档中的产品用户指南。
