MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (originally known as EOS AM-1) and Aqua (originally known as EOS PM-1) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications).

This dataset holds all media resources for the State of Environment and Conservation in the Pacific Islands: 2020 Regional Report
dataset with data pertaining to livestock (piglet) distribution by R&D for outer islands in the fiscal year 2014 - 2015. This data was analyzed in the current SOE
Animated Key Messages from the State of Environment and Conservation in the Pacific : 2020 Regional Report
This new set of 60 indicator icons can be used in a State of Environment report to indicate the status of environmental issues and progress in a country.
a recorded consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in the Republic of the Marshall Islands

Under the Montreal Protocol, RMI maximum allowable ozone depleting substances consumption are recorded herein
Consumption of CFCs has remained reasonably constant in RMI since 1993. The data set out herein was collected by the international consultant on his visit to RMI. Data before 1995 is not considered reliable and is only an estimate of consumption at that time
The use of HCFCs is generally increasing in RMI, corresponding to the rise in use of the HCFC 22 in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Most of the consumption is for the foreign fishing fleet operating from the port in Majuro. Although this HCFC is not used in RMI, it must be counted as consumption by RMI as it is not being formally exported.

State of Environment (SoE) reports provide in-country partners with a process to gather data on current environmental indicators, document their status, and formulate a plan for keeping these indicators on track or developing policies and programs as needed. This SoE Toolkit dataset contains resources that serve as guides to help create up-to-date State of Environment reports.
This dataset has all icons for Multilateral Environment Agreements such as SDGs and Aichi

This dataset contains rasters and a metadata file for global mean monthly sea surface temperature (°C) from 2010-2019. Rasters are in WGS84 coordinate system (EPSG 4326). Sea surface temperature is the temperature of the top millimeter of the ocean's surface. Sea surface temperatures influence weather, including hurricanes, as well as plant and animal life in the ocean. Like Earth's land surface, sea surface temperatures are warmer near the equator and colder near the poles. Currents like giant rivers move warm and cold water around the world's oceans.
This dataset contains rasters and a metadata file for global mean monthly ocean chlorophyll concentration (mg/m3) from 2010-2019. Rasters are in WGS84 coordinate system (EPSG 4326) . Chlorophyll-a is the light-harvesting pigment found in all photosynthetic plants. Its concentration in the ocean is used as an index of phytoplankton biomass and, as such, is a key input to primary productivity models.
