Looking for specific CSV data.

Question

Hey Esri Community! Hoping y'all can help me out. I'm working on mapping temporal data, but I'm running into issues finding the proper CSV data. Does anyone know where I can find files on :

1.) magnetic pole locations over time

2.) location of solar incidence over time

3.) ocean and land temperatures over time

I'd greatly appreciate any info you may have!

Hi, @CharlesAnderson I know this reply is coming to you a little late! But whenever I want general CSV data for SST (sea surface temperature) anomalies, climate, or temperature I go to this website NOAA Climate.gov because they have a lot of open downloadable data and interactive maps.

Here is the general website:

https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/datasets?page=1

Here are the Global Temperature Anomalies CSV data that is awesome and I use often:

https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/dataset/global-temperature-anomalies-graphing-tool

Here is the data page for temperature and precipitation trends:

https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/dataset/temperature-and-precipitation-trends-graphing-tool

Here is the page for Sea Surface Temperature:

https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/dataset/sea-surface-temperature-and-sea-ice-coverage-map-viewer

I have not used these USGS geomagnetism CSV data sets (they're not specific to the poles) but you can find the general page here: Scroll and click on the data sets at the bottom of the page.

https://www.usgs.gov/natural-hazards/geomagnetism/data-tools

and here is one that I think might be helpful from the USGS Geomagnetic Repeat Station:

Hope this helps!

Best,

Victoria

It's not CSV data, so I'm not sure if it will help you, but ArcGIS Living Atlas has some layers that might be useful for you.

1. Here is a layer of the historical Magnetic Pole track for 1590-2025 (the link has details about the model used to make it): https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=22ccda92950748b28ea2bfde15dbf4e9

And this app is about magnetic declination 1590 - 2020 was made by NOAA and is freely available: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=d38f95bd712547b4b607435ccfbadfc9

3. These layers for sea surface temperature are both in ArcGIS Living Atlas and are included in organizational subscriptions:https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/en/browse/#d=2&q=%22Sea%20Surface%20Temperature%20(%C2%B0C)%22

* Sea Surface Temperature: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7b421e42c17b43f8ad7222b8f71d09e7 
* Arctic Sea Surface Temperature: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a214c76dfb4c4f4e8da10bd7f744666f

There is also data for US Historical Climate monthly averages 1981 - 2010: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b8df6517ceac42af9ab483089296ed04
