The actual EvapoTranspiration and Interception (ETIa) is the sum of the soil evaporation (E), canopy transpiration (T), and evaporation from rainfall intercepted by leaves (I). The value of each pixel represents the average daily ETIa in a given dekad. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

The raster dataset consists of a 500m score grid for banana storage location achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors for selected crop warehouse location: • Supply: Banana. • Demand: Human population density, Major cities population (national and bordering countries). • Infrastructure/accessibility: main transportation infrastructure. It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): ("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Major Cities Accessibility" * 0.2) + (“Asset Wealth” * 0.1) + ("Major Ports Accessibility" * 0.1). This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (optimal location).

The main sources of information for the species distribution are the habitat description and geographic range contained in the published FAO Catalogues of Species (more details at http://www.fao.org/fishery/fishfinder ). Terms used in the descriptive context of the FAO Catalogues were converted in standard depth, geographic and ecological regions and inserted into a Geographic Information System.

Net Primary Production (NPP) is a fundamental characteristic of an ecosystem, expressing the conversion of carbon dioxide into biomass driven by photosynthesis. The pixel value represents the NPP for that specific month. The data is provided in near real time from January 2009 to present.

Part of the Integrated Vulnerability Assessment in the Arab Region, this 1km pixel resolution raster dataset provides a representation of change in Potential Impact, for climate change impact sector:subsector – Biodiversity and Ecosystems: Area Covered by Forests - in the Middle East and North Africa Region. Vulnerability is a concept used to express the complex interaction of climate change effects and the susceptibility of a system to its impacts. Within the Vulnerability Assessment conceptual framework, Exposure refers to changes in climate parameters that might affect socio-ecological systems, Sensitivity provides information about the status quo of the physical and natural environment that makes the affected systems particularly susceptible, and the Potential Impact is determined by combining the exposure and sensitivity of a system. The integrated vulnerability assessment combines a series of single vulnerability assessments for several water-related climate change impacts on different sectors. It adopts the time periods generally used by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) and other regional climate modelling experiments, and runs climate simulations based on future time periods that are compared with a historical reference period. The raster grids, with classified pixel values, from low Potential Impact 1 to high Potential Impact 10, are generated for moderate and high representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5), emission scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for informing climate modelling work, and for future time periods: Mid-Century (2046-2065); End-Century (2081-2100).
