The WHO generates a set of temperature and precipitation climate indicators based on ISIMIP CMIP6 model runs and observations from JRA-55 and GPCCD. The links below show these indicators for 7 CUSSH cities.
The dashboard has been created to support navigation of the data products produced by CRU/UEA climate indicator datasets and reports.
Temperature variables from JRA-55 are used to adjust additively the historical and SSP1-2.6 and SSP3-7.0 model runs relative to the 1961-1990 climatological baseline.
Precipitation variables from GPCCD-FDD are used to adjust multiplicatively the historical and SSP1-2.6 and SSP3-7.0 model runs relative to the 1982-2016 climatological baseline.
Observational/reanalysis data is not yet available for the ETCCDI variables: fdETCCDI, gslETCCDI, idETCCDI, suETCCDI and trETCCDI, and hence no offset was applied and these variables have not been plotted here.
Variables whose units are days are clipped to the valid range [0,365].
Variables whose units are % are clipped to the valid range [0,100].
For the yearly mean temperature (TAS), CMIP6 model runs and CRU-TS 3.26 observations were used to additatively bias-correct relative to the 1961-1990 climatological baseline.
For the yearly total precipitation (PRE), CMIP6 model runs and CRU-TS 3.26 observations were used to multiplicatively bias-correct relative to the 1982-2016 climatological baseline.
For the daily HSI heat index variable (HI), days above or equal to the threshold values [27, 32, 41 and 54 degrees C] are presented as [hi27, hi32, hi41 and hi54] respectively.
In the CSV files that present the 30-yr average statistics as well as their difference from the 1981-2010 baseline, all values are provided to 2 d.p.
