Dataset
Estimated monthly water levels across a subset region of the Congo Basin peatlands (2019–2020)
Abstract
These data include estimates of the monthly water levels across a subset region of the Congo Basin peatland complex for the period March 2019 to October 2020.
Filenames beginning with 'WL_monthly' contain the monthly minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation of the estimated daily water levels for a subset of the Cuvette Centrale region in the Central Congo Basin.
Filenames beginning with just 'WL_' contain the minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation of the estimated daily water levels over the 20-month study period, March 2019 to October 2020.
Details of the method used to produce these data are included in the article: Georgiou, S.; Mitchard, E.T.A.; Crezee, B.; Dargie, G.C.; Young, D.M.; Jovani-Sancho, A.J.; Kitambo, B.; Papa, F.; Bocko, Y.E.; Bola, P.; et al. Mapping Water Levels across a Region of the Cuvette Centrale Peatland Complex. Remote Sens. 2023, 15, 3099. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15123099.
These data were produced for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project CongoPeat: Past, Present and Future of the Peatlands of the Central Congo Basin (grant reference: NE/R016860/1).
