Baranja hill is a 4 by 4 km large study area in the Baranja region, eastern Croatia (corresponds to a size of an aerial photograph). This data set has been extensively used to describe various DEM modelling and analysis steps (see Hengl and Reuter, 2008; Hengl et al., 2010). Object barxyz contains 6370 precise observations of elevations (from field survey and digitized from the stereo images); bargrid contains observed probabilities of streams (digitized from the 1:5000 topo map); barstr contains 100 simulated stream networks ("SpatialLines") using barxyz point data as input (see examples below).
SAGA_pal
(Package: plotKML) :
Colour palettes for numeric variables
SAGA_pal contains 22 colour palettes imported from SAGA GIS (Conrad, 2007). R_pal 12 standard colour palettes used in R to visualize continuous and binary variables. Each colour palette consists of 20 colours in the hexadecimal system. Use display.pal function to plot different sets of palettes.
fmd
(Package: plotKML) :
2001 food-and-mouth epidemic, north Cumbria (UK)
This data set gives the spatial locations and reported times of food-and-mouth disease in north Cumbria (UK), 2001. It is of no scientific value, as it deliberately excludes confidential information on farms at risk in the study-region. It is included in the package purely as an illustrative example.
LST
(Package: plotKML) :
Time series of MODIS LST images
LST contains a spatial sub-sample (Istra region in Croatia) of 46 time series of MODIS LST images (estimated Land Surface Temperature in degrees C) at 1 km resolution. The temporal support size of these images is 8-days.
eberg
(Package: plotKML) :
Ebergotzen --- soil mapping case study
Ebergötzen is 10 by 10 km study area in the vicinity of the city of Göttingen in Central Germany. This area has been extensively surveyed over the years, mainly for the purposes of developing operational digital soil mapping techniques (Gehrt and Böhner, 2001), and has been used by the SAGA GIS development team to demonstrate various processing steps. eberg table contains 3670 observations (augers) of soil textures at five depths (0-10, 10-30, 30-50, 50-70, and 70-90), and field records of soil types according to the German soil classification system. eberg_grid contains gridded maps at 100 m resolution that can be used as covariates for spatial prediction of soil variables. eberg_grid25 contains grids at finer resolution (25 m). eberg_zones is a polygon map showing the distribution of parent material (Silt and sand, Sandy material, Clayey derivats, Clay and loess). eberg_contours shows contour lines derived from the 25 m DEM of the area using 10 m equidistance.
2984 observations of bigfoot (with attached dates). The field occurrence records have been obtained from the BigFoot Research Organization (BFRO) website. The BFRO reports generally consist of a description of the event and where it occurred, plus the quality classification. Similar data set has been used by Lozier et al. (2009) to demonstrate possible miss-interpretations of the results of species distribution modeling. The maps in the USAWgrids data set represent typical gridded environmental covariates used for species distribution modeling.
HRprec08
(Package: plotKML) :
Daily precipitation for Croatia for year 2008

HRtemp08
(Package: plotKML) :
Daily temperatures for Croatia for year 2008
The daily measurements of temperature (thermometers) for year 2008 kindly contributed by the Croatian National Meteorological Service. HRtemp08 contains 56,608 measurements of temperature (159 stations by 365 days).
