Auxiliary
Auxiliary indicators provide crucial context by measuring multiple dimensions of land characteristics: they assess vegetation health through canopy measurements and photosynthetic activity, classify land usage patterns, and evaluate future climate risks. This comprehensive data helps create a complete picture of the land's current condition and potential future challenges, enabling more informed environmental assessments.
Climate risk rating (Not Relevant to Very High) for 6 key hazards—drought, temperature extremes, precipitation changes, heat stress, storm winds, and wildfire—for current conditions and future scenarios (2030, 2050, 2080).
Quantifies the temperature-reducing benefits of urban greenery, crucial for creating cooler, more livable cities.
Provides high-frequency historical air temperature data, fundamental for monitoring climatic impacts across sectors.
Measures the temperature of the Earth’s land surface, providing insights into heat distribution, urban heat islands, and land–atmosphere energy dynamics relevant to climate and ecosystem monitoring.
Measures environmental quality through on-site assessments of factors such as air pollution, noise levels, and other ambient conditions that influence human wellbeing and ecosystem health.
