FloodScore™ Climate

Adopts UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) data to model UK future climate

Product Details

Ambiental UK FloodScore™ Climate is UK dataset which provides a view of climate-related, property-level flood risk information for Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and the Channel Islands.  The product provides an estimate of the likelihood and severity of climate-related flood hazards affecting each individual property and is intended for use by mortgage lenders and property owners (e.g.  Housing Associations).  

UK FloodScore™ Climate adopts the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) data update to model UK future climate.  This is modelled in three epochs for four future CO2/Greenhouse Gas emissions scenarios (known as Representative Concentration Pathways – RCP) and six return periods.  The product provides estimates for flood depths for each property address in defended and undefended situations along with undefended risk ratings (i.e.  FloodScore), an average annual loss (AAL) and an annual damage ratio (ADR) for each flood source.  The product includes UK FloodScore™ (the current view of flood risk).

Why is the product important?
The product enables customers to estimate the long view of flood risk as it applies to their asset portfolio and satisfy disclosure requirements of various Environment & Social Governance (ESG) reporting frameworks.

OS MasterMap Imagery

OS MasterMap Imagery Layer

The OS MasterMap Imagery Layer comprises the best available aerial images, edge-matched and orthorectified to align with other OS MasterMap layers.

Product Details

The aerial images give added context to features which exist within other (vector) OS MasterMap layers and allow interpretation of other features not identified within the vector datasets. The data is rigorously checked for quality to maintain a consistent standard of both positional accuracy and image quality.

Additionally Ordnance Survey processing software produces true-orthorectified imagery, removing building lean from aerial imagery to give you a consistent top-down view.

Aerial imagery is ideal for checking road markings, tree canopies or site entrances, cutting down the need for site visits, so you can save money and manage time more efficiently.

Purchasable as both a traditional raster cut-out of a user defined area or as web services.

OS MasterMap Imagery layer is ideal for:

  • Planning
  • Site location and evaluation
  • Land use classification and analysis
  • Transport and infrastructure
  • Asset management
  • Environmental analysis
  • Flood mapping
  • 3D visualisation

Bluesky National Tree Map data

National Tree Map

The National Tree Map (NTM™) provides a detailed assessment of tree heights and canopy cover, using aerial photography, infrared, and high-res DSM data.

Product Details

National Tree Map includes a Tree Crown layer showing crown coverage and maximum, minimum and mean height. The attribution allows a variety of visualisations to be carried out, including classifying tree cover by height or canopy size, filtering out of trees under a certain height, etc.

This ‘off the shelf’ baseline tree inventory cuts out costly and time-consuming field data collection. Although not intended to replace field work, NTM™ will allow field assessors to spend less time collecting the base data and more time collating additional, valuable information on the ground that is not so readily observed from aerial photography.

This dataset is available for the whole of England and Wales.

N.B. Aerial Imagery not included.
