Time Series

Datasets providing summary results for diatoms, invertebrates and macrophytes from samples taken for periods up to current year for England.

The three datasets are -

Rainfall radar map layers are available as a single image covering the UK or as a set of tiled images (Web Map Tile Service) to show recent rain rates in mm/hour over the UK.

Layer images are updated every 15 minutes with a 15 minute delay due to processing times.

The map layer is provided without a map, the boundary box for this image is 48.0 to 61.0 degrees north and 12.0 degrees west to 5.0 degrees east.

The National Groundwater Level Archive held by the British Geological Survey records measurements of the depth below the ground surface of the water table, or its height above sea level across 181 sites in the UK.

Groundwater levels depend on aquifer properties, local geological conditions and a complex balance between recharge from rainfall, and discharges to rivers or pumped abstraction.

The data can be used to quantify resources, to understand the flow of groundwater and to measure the impacts of abstraction.

Gridded data sets based on surface observations have been generated for a range of climatic variables and may be downloaded by registered users.

The primary purpose of this data resource is to encourage and facilitate research into climate change impacts and adaptation.

Providing monthly average data (1981 - 2010) for max and min temperature, sunshine, rainfall, raindays, days of air frost, and mean wind speeds for 283 sites, at regional and UK level.
