Abstract
This dataset contains categorical geographical information data files for the UK to enable the effective translation of climate data into new forms of actionable information.
These datasets have been created as part of the Earth Observation Climate Information Service (EOCIS) project, following the specific format and nature of the EOCIS Climate information at Hi-res for the UK (CHUK) grid, as specified by NCEO.
The information files cover the following attributes:
* land and permanent water
* tags for the devolved nation of the UK (also Eire, France, etc)
* tags for the county / council / unitary authority / metropolitan or London borough
* tags for the parish / community / town council
* tags for the UK postcode sector
* tags for appropriate administrative boundaries relating to the National Health Service
* tags for appropriate administrative boundaries relating to the Fire Service
* land classification
* built and paved area fractions
* presence of roads, railway tracks and transmission network
* socioeconomic data of population, income, and educational attainment

| Title | Derivation of the EOCIS: Geospatial Information Files V1.1 |
| Abstract | For more information on the derivation of the Earth Observation Climate Information Service (EOCIS) Geospatial Information files see https://eocis.org/portal/documents/IEA-EOCISAuxfiles-TR_Additional_v8.pdf. These datasets have been created following the specific format and nature of the EOCIS Climate information at Hi-res for the UK (CHUK) grid. The CHUK grid consists of a 100m x 100m grid over the whole of the British Isles, an area approximately 1,000km x 1,500km. |
