- European Space Agency (ESA) & ISRIC — World Soil Information — ESA WorldCover Portal & ISRIC WebDAV/WCS Service
- Search method
- Query ESA WorldCover 2021 v200 STAC catalogue for 3x3 degree Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF tiles N27E084 and N27E085; query ISRIC SoilGrids 250m v2.0 REST API for saturated hydraulic conductivity (ksat), sand/silt/clay fractions, and bulk density (bdod) across 0-30 cm depth intervals.
- Criteria
Criterion Central Nepal / Tibetan borderlands. Land cover classification and physical soil hydraulic parameters. - Coverage
- High-accuracy land cover classification (forest, grassland, bare ground, snow/ice, water) and physical soil hydraulic conductivity supporting Curve Number (CN) and Manning's n parameterization.
- Stopping rule
- Exhaust 10m LULC tiles and SoilGrids layers spanning the entire Trishuli catchment.
- Result
2 physical land surface collections recovered across 4 assets: ESA WorldCover 10m COG land cover tiles and ISRIC SoilGrids 250m hydraulic soil parameter grids.
