The PRIOR Datasets for Rapid Geospatial Land Eligibility Analyses in Europe
Description
This resource contains the pre-computed land indication datasets (also known as the "Prior" datasets) developed for the preprint "Methodological Framework for Determining the Land Eligibility of Renewable Energy Sources" [1] and evaluated in the publication "Evaluating Land Eligibility Constraints of Renewable Energy Sources in Europe" [2]. Please cite these sources if this data is used in published works. Note that the original sources from which these datasets were processed are also indicated in the README.txt file, which should also be credited. The main aspects of the Prior datasets are: 1. Each Prior dataset is a raster file covering the European domain (see note N1) * Spatial reference system is set as "EPSG:3035" * Spatial resolution is 100 meters * Datatype is "UInt8" 2. Each dataset represents exactly one geospatial criteria * Example: "road_proximity" = The distance of each pixel from the nearest roadway 3. Pixel values represent edge indexes, rather than the explicit values themselves * This was chosen to conserve storage space * Example: For "road_proximity"... "Index Value" "Edge Value" 0 = "within 0 meters" 1 = "within 50 meters" 2 = "within 100 meters" 3 = "within 200 meters" 4. Each prior dataset represents a processed view of the fundamental data source, therefore if any of this data is used in a published work the fundamental source should also be cited View README.txt for more information The following datasets are available with this resource: 1. agriculture_arable_proximity 2. agriculture_heterogeneous_proximity 3. agriculture_pasture_proximity 4. agriculture_permanent_crop_proximity 5. agriculture_proximity 6. airfield_proximity 7. airport_proximity 8. camping_proximity 9. dni_threshold 10. elevation_threshold 11. ghi_threshold 12. industrial_proximity 13. lake_proximity 14. leisure_proximity 15. mining_proximity 16. ocean_proximity 17. power_line_proximity 18. connection_distance 19. protected_biosphere_proximity 20. protected_bird_proximity 21. protected_habitat_proximity 22. protected_landscape_proximity 23. protected_natural_monument_proximity 24. protected_park_proximity 25. protected_reserve_proximity 26. protected_wilderness_proximity 27. railway_proximity 28. river_proximity 29. roads_main_proximity 30. roads_proximity 31. access_distance 32. roads_secondary_proximity 33. sand_proximity 34. settlement_proximity 35. settlement_urban_proximity 36. slope_north_facing_threshold 37. slope_threshold 38. touristic_proximity 39. waterbody_proximity 40. wetland_proximity 41. windspeed_100m_threshold 42. windspeed_50m_threshold 43. woodland_coniferous_proximity 44. woodland_deciduous_proximity 45. woodland_mixed_proximity 46. woodland_proximity
