Help on the Results MapX
This window can be dragged by its header, and can be resized from the bottom right corner.
Clicking the Layers button - the blue square in the top left of the Results Map - will display a list of map layers you can add or remove
from the currently displayed map view.
The Results Map and the Results Table
- The Results Map displays the centroids of the geographic bounds of all the results returned by the search.
- Results that are displayed in the current map view will be highlighted in blue and brought to the top of the Results Table.
- As the map is panned or zoomed, the highlighted rows in the table will update.
- If you click on a centroid on the map, it will turn yellow and display a popup with details for that project/dataset - including a link to the landing page. The bounds for the project(s)/dataset(s) selected will be displayed in red. The selected result(s) will be highlighted in red and brought to the top of the table.
- The default table sorting order is: Selected, Visible, Date (descending), but this can be changed by clicking on column headers in the table.
- Selecting Show on Map for an individual row will both display the geographic bounds for that result on a mini map, and also display the bounds and highlight the centroid on the Results Map.
- Clicking the 'Show boundaries' checkbox at the top of the Results Map will display all the bounds for the filtered results.
Defining a search area on the Results Map
- If you click on the Rectangle or Polygon icons in the top right of the Results Map, you can define a search area which will be added to any other search criteria already selected.
- After you have drawn a polygon, you can edit it using the Edit Geometry dropdown in the search form at the top.
- Clicking Clear in the map will clear any drawn polygon.
- Clicking Search in the map, or Search on the form will have the same effect.
- The returned results will be any projects/datasets with bounds that intersect the polygon.
- Use the Exclude project/datasets checkbox to exclude any projects/datasets that cover the whole Antarctic region.

In addition to the a geotiff grid representing the average daily global horizontal irradiance for an entire year, the dataset also includes geotiffs containing daily values of direct beam irradiance, diffuse irradiance, ground reflected irradiance, and global (total) irradiance (all in Wh m-2 day-1) as well as insolation time (hours).

Does Nest Density Matter? Using Novel Technology to Collect Whole-colony Data on Adelie Penguins. |
These data are results from a novel multirobot path-planning method for conducting aerial surveys over large areas designed to make the best use of limited flight time. We implemented our planning algorithm with a team of drones to conduct multiple photographic aerial wildlife surveys of Cape Crozier, one of the largest Adélie penguin colonies in the world containing more than 300,000 nesting pairs. We used the same technique at the two smaller Adélie penguin colonies on Ross Island (Cape Bird and Cape Royds). At Cape Crozier, over 2 square kilometers was surveyed in about 3 hours. In contrast, previous human-piloted single-drone surveys of the same colony required over 2 days to complete. The resulting data are geo-referenced, 3d images of penguin colonies created from the UAV imagery. Raw images were stitched together using Metashape (https://www.agisoft.com/). | ["POLYGON((165 -77,165.5 -77,166 -77,166.5 -77,167 -77,167.5 -77,168 -77,168.5 -77,169 -77,169.5 -77,170 -77,170 -77.1,170 -77.2,170 -77.3,170 -77.4,170 -77.5,170 -77.6,170 -77.7,170 -77.8,170 -77.9,170 -78,169.5 -78,169 -78,168.5 -78,168 -78,167.5 -78,167 -78,166.5 -78,166 -78,165.5 -78,165 -78,165 -77.9,165 -77.8,165 -77.7,165 -77.6,165 -77.5,165 -77.4,165 -77.3,165 -77.2,165 -77.1,165 -77))"] | ["POINT(167.5 -77.5)"] | false | false |

NSF-NERC: Thwaites-Amundsen Regional Survey and Network (TARSAN) Integrating Atmosphere-Ice-Ocean Processes affecting the Sub-Ice-Shelf Environment |
This dataset includes GeoTiffs of two-year averages of ice flow velocity (including x- and y-components and flow speed) and longitudinal, transverse, and shear strain rates for the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) from 2001-2020. The grids were derived from feature tracking on MODIS, Landsat-7, and Landsat-8 imagery. Each pixel in a grid represents the median value of a stack of all available pixels for each time period. Data are gridded at a 500 m spatial resolution in a polar stereographic (EPSG:3031) projection. Speed units are m/day and strain rates are in units of /day. In addition, we provide videos of each variable (excluding x- and y-velocity components) placed alongside a MODIS image of the same extent and from around the same time to provide context. In addition to the variables noted above, we include videos for flow direction (in degrees from grid north in an EPSG:3031 projection) and a zoomed-in version of flow direction, which were calculated from the provided grids. | ["POLYGON((-114 -74,-113 -74,-112 -74,-111 -74,-110 -74,-109 -74,-108 -74,-107 -74,-106 -74,-105 -74,-104 -74,-104 -74.2,-104 -74.4,-104 -74.6,-104 -74.8,-104 -75,-104 -75.2,-104 -75.4,-104 -75.6,-104 -75.8,-104 -76,-105 -76,-106 -76,-107 -76,-108 -76,-109 -76,-110 -76,-111 -76,-112 -76,-113 -76,-114 -76,-114 -75.8,-114 -75.6,-114 -75.4,-114 -75.2,-114 -75,-114 -74.8,-114 -74.6,-114 -74.4,-114 -74.2,-114 -74))"] | ["POINT(-109 -75)"] | false | false |
