Abstract

This gridded dataset contains annual and monthly rainfall erosivity (RE) and erosivity density (ED) maps for Brazil. Data type: Raster (GeoTIFF) Spatial resolution: ~0.7 km² Spatial coverage: Entire Brazilian territory Projection: SIRGAS 2000 (EPSG:4674). Temporal resolution: Annual and monthly values Variables and units: Rainfall erosivity (MJ·mm·ha⁻¹·h⁻¹·year⁻¹ or MJ·mm·ha⁻¹·h⁻¹·month⁻¹) and erosivity density (MJ·ha⁻¹·h⁻¹) Mapping methodology: Random Forest algorithm
