Results of DCL (diclofenac) concentrations calculated using a Contaminant Fate Model. The results are in raster (.tif) format and cover the world. Rasters use geographic coordinate system WGS84 with resolution of 1/16 deg (δ); the extreme positions x_0=-180 (western cell position) and y_0=-56 (southern cell position); the extension nr=2240 (number of rows) and nc=5760 (number of columns).
