glUV: A global UV-B radiation dataset for macroecological studies
Original language description
1. Macroecology has prospered in recent years due in part to the wide array of climatic data that has become available for research, such as WorldClim and CliMond. However, important environmental variables are still missing, including spatial datasets on UV-B radiation, an increasingly recognized driver of ecological processes. 2. We developed a set of UV-B surfaces (glUV) suitable to match common spatial scales in macroecology. Our dataset is based on remotely sensed records from NASA's Ozone Monitoring Instrument (Aura-OMI). Following a similar approach as for the WorldClim and CliMond datasets, we processed daily measurements acquired over a period of eight years into six ecologically meaningful variables with a 15-arc minute resolution. We correlated our datasets with selected variables of those existing bioclimatic surfaces for land and with Terra-MODIS Sea Surface Temperature for ocean regions to test for relations to known gradients and patterns. 3. UV-B surfaces showed a disti
