dat@OSU
dat@OSU is a Metadata platform proposed by the Observatoire des Sciences de l’Univers Terre Homme Environnement Temps Astronomie (OSU THETA). It provides a description of digital data sets from scientific research led in the different laboratories and teams.
Weather types around the Kerguelen Islands (south of the Indian Ocean)
Daily weather regimes are defined around the Kerguelen Islands (Southern Ocean) on the basis of daily 500-hPa geopotential height anomalies derived from the ERA5 ensemble reanalysis over the period 1979-2018. Ten regimes are retained as significant. Their occurrences are highly consistent across ...
Descriptors monitoring atmospheric centers of action of weather patterns around Aotearoa New Zealand
Here we introduce a set of descriptors applied to weather regimes that allow for a detailed monitoring of the location and intensity of their atmospheric centers of action (e.g., troughs and ridges) and the gradients between them, when applicable. Descriptors are designed to document the effect of ...
Seriality in material culture by Geometric Morphometrics
Geometric Morphometrics of gold wild boar discovered in the Arzhan-2 tomb, Tuva In the field of material culture, seriality refers to the serial production of nearly the same object in terms of shape and size, yielding visually identical artefacts. Subtle variations may nevertheless occur, ...
Monthly mean interpolated climatic fields for Kenya
Long-term mean monthly interpolated climatic data (minimum temperature, maximum temperature, precipitation amounts, parameters of Markov chains and gamma distribution for daily rainfall, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed) for Kenya (5.35°S to 4.32°N, 33.70°E to 41.95°E) at a resolution ...
Worldwide distribution of continental rock lithology
Global map of the main rock types exposed on the continental areas (present day). This map has been constructed and digitized from synthetic lithological and soil maps published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO-UNESCO) for each continent, and from additional other sources. The ...
