Hydrography90m layers
Here is an overview of all the current layers of the Hydrography90m dataset. Please see the paper by Amatulli et al. (2022) for further details.
For each computed layer is reported:
- a figure sample
- the layer file name with an asterisk which stands for the tile ID. The layer file name is a hyperlink that leads to the sub-directory download page
- the visualization webgis link
How to get the data
Click below on the tiled map to get the download link or use our download script (bash) to dowloand the full data archive. If you downloaded multiple tiles and want merge them use our merge script (bash).
Or you can use the R package hydrographr to download and merge tiles!
