Climate Data 111+ : Synthesis of Hazard Data Sources
- Documentation:
- Climate Data 111+ is designed to be a comprehensive tool for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in climate risk assessment and adaptation. With 111+ data sources meticulously described and categorized, Climate Data 111+ offers both depth and clarity, making it easier for users to find and understand data they need. Whether for academic research, policy development, or practical implementation, our database is a comprehensive resource for addressing the challenges of climate change. Importantly, Climate Data 111+ emphasizes open access, ensuring that all users can freely access climate data without financial barriers. Climate Data 111+ is detailed in several dimensions and provides a thorough understanding of the scope, quality and applicability of the data. Descriptions include the specific climate hazards covered, such as floods, droughts, heatwaves, or wildfires; the relevant time period (historical, present, or future); and the frequency of data collection or updates, ranging from hourly to yearly intervals. The geographic area covered by the data is specified, from local to global scales, and the level of detail in the spatial data is indicated, including the source's native resolution and the approximate spatial resolution standardised to kilometres for easy comparison across sources. Climate Data 111+ also includes advanced attributes. Information on the type of ensemble used, such as Scenario Ensembles, Initial Condition Ensembles, or Parameter Ensembles, helps users understand the robustness and variability captured in the data. Additionally, the climate scenarios included in the data, ranging from business-as-usual to various mitigation pathways, are detailed, along with any post-processing applied, including bias correction, spatial and/or temporal aggregation, and ensemble aggregation. To facilitate data accessibility and usability, Climate Data 111+ includes key indicators or metrics provided by the data source. Information on the recency and update frequency of the data ensures users have access to the latest information. The format in which the data is available, such as CSV, NetCDF, or JSON, is also specified. Comprehensive metadata is provided to facilitate data sourcing and credibility assessment. This includes the organization or institution responsible for the data, which provides context for regional expertise and focus, and direct links to access the data or more information about the source.
