WorldClim 2.0 Solar Radiation data

What data format does WorldClim use?

The data are stored in ZIP (compressed) files. There is a ZIP file for each combination of resolution/format and climate element (mean, min, and max monthly average temperature and monthly total precipitation), the bioclimatic variables, and altitude. The ZIP files have names like X_R_F.

What is the resolution of WorldClim data?

The data is available at the four spatial resolutions, between 30 seconds (~1 km2) to 10 minutes (~340 km2). Each download is a “zip” file containing 12 GeoTiff (. tif) files, one for each month of the year (January is 1; December is 12).

Where can I download climate data?

The climate data can be obtained by accessing the NCEI web interface available at the following link: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/. This interface has multiple options and tools including search and mapping for obtaining the data as shown below.
 

What is WorldClim global climate and weather data?

WorldClim is a database of high spatial resolution global weather and climate data. These data can be used for mapping and spatial modeling. The data are provided for use in research and related activities; and some specialized skill and knowledge is needed to use them (here is some help).

How is Worldclim data generated?

The data layers were generated through interpolation of average monthly climate data from weather stations on a 30 arc-second resolution grid (often referred to as “1 km²” resolution).

What is 2.5 min resolution in KM?

about 4.5 km

This page has future climate data at a 2.5-minute spatial resolution (this is about 4.5 km at the equator).

Which are common resolutions for Dem rasters?

DEM resolutions used in the hydrological and hydraulic modelling industry typically range from 1000m to 2m or less (Vaze, Teng, & Spencer, 2010). Here, we limit our discussion to the resolution of JBA’s national-scale flood maps, which range from 30m- 5m.
 

What is the resolution of CMIP6?

The HighResMIP simulations incorporate the model resolution (grid spacing) that range from typical CMIP6 resolutions (∼250 km in the atmosphere and 100 km in the ocean) to considerably higher resolutions (25 km in the atmosphere and 8–25 km in the ocean).

What is the resolution of cmip5?

What is the spatial resolution of ERA5?

9km

The native spatial resolution of the ERA5-Land reanalysis dataset is 9km on a reduced Gaussian grid (TCo1279). The data in the CDS has been regridded to a regular lat-lon grid of 0.1×0. 1 degrees.

What is IMD gridded data?

Data is arranged in 135×129 grid points. The first data in the record is at 6.5N & 66.5E, the second is at 6.5N & 66.75E, and so on. The last data record corresponds to 38.5N & 100.0E. The yearly data file consists of 365/366 records corresponding to non leap/ leap years.
