This collection offers 8 parameters at 33 available pressure levels (from 100000Pa to 1000Pa) from the Met Office global deterministic 10km forecast. This is a numerical weather prediction forecast for the whole globe, with a resolution of approximately 0.09 degrees i.e. 10km (2,560 x 1,920 grid points). The data is available as NetCDF files. It's offered on a free, unsupported basis, so we don't recommend using it for any critical business purposes. ## Pressure Levels Available pressure levels, in Pascals (Pa), are: * 100000.0 97500.0 95000.0 92500.0 90000.0 85000.0 80000.0 75000.0 70000.0 65000.0 60000.0 55000.0 50000.0 45000.0 40000.0 37500.0 35000.0 32500.0 30000.0 27500.0 25000.0 22500.0 20000.0 17500.0 15000.0 12500.0 10000.0 7000.0 5000.0 4000.0 3000.0 2000.0 1000.0 500.0 200.0 100.0 40.0 ## Timesteps The following timesteps are available: * every hour from 0 to 54 hours (for most parameters, see parameter table for exceptions) * every 3 hours from 57 to 144 hours * every 6 hours from 150 to 168 hours ## Update Frequency The model is run four times each day, with forecast reference times of 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 (UTC). The runs at 00:00 and 12:00 provide data for the next 168 hours. The runs at 06:00 and 18:00 provide data for the next 67 hours. The forecast reference time represents the nominal data time or start time of a model forecast run, rather than the time when the data is available. ## Archive length and latency As of December 2025, the archive contains data from December 2023 onwards. Forecasts will continue to be available for at least two years from their data date. The data is typically available 6 hours after the model run time. ## Technical specs The data is available as NetCDF files. NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-orientated data access and a library that supports the interface. It is composed of 3 components: * Variables store the data * Dimensions give relevant dimension information for the variables * Attributes provide auxiliary information about the variables or dataset itself NetCDF is used within the atmospheric and oceanic science communities and is network transparent, allowing for it to be accessed by computers that store integers, characters and floating-point numbers. Iris supports NetCDF files through reading, writing and handling. Iris implements a model based on the CF conventions, giving a format-agnostic interface for working with data. Find further support on using Iris with NetCDF files. ## Help us improve the data services we offer Join the Met Office research panel to help us understand how people interact with weather and climate data, uncover challenges and explore opportunities. ## How to cite Met Office global deterministic 10km forecast was accessed on DATE from the Microsoft Planetary Computer (https://zenodo.org/records/7261897). ## License British Crown copyright 2023-2025, the Met Office, is licensed under CC BY-SA. ## Providers Met Office See all datasets managed by Met Office. ## Contact [servicedesk@metoffice.gov.uk](mailto:servicedesk@metoffice.gov.uk).

The Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) contains citizen science data from Landslide Reporter put into the database as Landslide Reporter Catalog (event_import_source = ‘LRC’) and data from NASA’s Global Landslide Catalog (event_import_source = ‘GLC’) compiled since 2007. Background The Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) was developed with the goal of identifying rainfall-triggered landslide events around the world, regardless of size, impacts or location. The GLC considers all types of mass movements triggered by rainfall and some triggered by other events, that have been reported in the media, disaster databases, scientific reports, or other sources. The GLC has been compiled since 2007 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) is a worldwide database of landslide events. It currently includes NASA’s Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) and other landslide reports contributed by citizen scientists. In the future, other landslide inventories will be added to COOLR. Methods We use 'landslide' as a general term to represent all event types. The catalog differentiates between landslide types when the information is available in the landslide_category field. COOLR follows a similar methodology to the GLC, and its fields and other information are documented in the publications below. Landslide events in the GLC were obtained from online news media, links to reported landslides in newspapers, hazard databases, scientific reports, blog entries, and personal communication and other sources. Online news articles serve as the primary sources of information for the landslide catalog and are found using Google Alerts (www.google.com/alerts) and other search engine options. Citizen science points submitted to COOLR through Landslide Reporter are checked for accuracy compared to the source material, accuracy of location and landslide identification, and the quality of the description provided. The source of the information in all COOLR points and polygons are described in the individual objects, which can be found in the source_name and source_link columns.

TerraClimate is a dataset of monthly climate and climatic water balance for global terrestrial surfaces from 1958 to the present. These data provide important inputs for ecological and hydrological studies at global scales that require high spatial resolution and time-varying data. All data have monthly temporal resolution and a ~4-km (1/24th degree) spatial resolution. This dataset is provided in Zarr format.
The World Climate Research Programme's 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) represents an enormous advance in the quality, detail, and scope of climate modeling. The Global Downscaled Projections for Climate Impacts Research dataset makes this modeling more applicable to understanding the impacts of changes in the climate on humans and society with two key developments: trend-preserving bias correction and downscaling. In this dataset, the Climate Impact Lab provides global, daily minimum and maximum air temperature at the surface (`tasmin` and `tasmax`) and daily cumulative surface precipitation (`pr`) corresponding to the CMIP6 historical, ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 scenarios for 25 global climate models on a 1/4-degree regular global grid. ## Accessing the data GDPCIR data can be accessed on the Microsoft Planetary Computer. The dataset is made of of three collections, distinguished by data license: * Public domain (CC0-1.0) collection * Attribution (CC BY 4.0) collection Each modeling center with bias corrected and downscaled data in this collection falls into one of these license categories - see the [table below](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc0#available-institutions-models-and-scenarios-by-license-collection) to see which model is in each collection, and see the section below on [Citing, Licensing, and using data produced by this project](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc0#citing-licensing-and-using-data-produced-by-this-project) for citations and additional information about each license. ## Data format & contents The data is stored as partitioned zarr stores (see https://zarr.readthedocs.io), each of which includes thousands of data and metadata files covering the full time span of the experiment. Historical zarr stores contain just over 50 GB, while SSP zarr stores contain nearly 70GB. Each store is stored as a 32-bit float, with dimensions time (daily datetime), lat (float latitude), and lon (float longitude). The data is chunked at each interval of 365 days and 90 degree interval of latitude and longitude. Therefore, each chunk is `(365, 360, 360)`, with each chunk occupying approximately 180MB in memory. Historical data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 1950 to Dec 31, 2014; SSP data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 2015 to either Dec 31, 2099 or Dec 31, 2100, depending on data availability in the source GCM. The spatial domain covers all 0.25-degree grid cells, indexed by the grid center, with grid edges on the quarter-degree, using a -180 to 180 longitude convention. Thus, the “lon” coordinate extends from -179.875 to 179.875, and the “lat” coordinate extends from -89.875 to 89.875, with intermediate values at each 0.25-degree increment between (e.g. -179.875, -179.625, -179.375, etc). ## Available institutions, models, and scenarios by license collection | Modeling institution | Source model | Available experiments | License collection | | -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | CAS | FGOALS-g3 [^1] | SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM4-8 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM5-0 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | BCC | BCC-CSM2-MR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CMCC | CMCC-CM2-SR5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CMCC | CMCC-ESM2 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CSIRO-ARCCSS | ACCESS-CM2 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40 | | CSIRO | ACCESS-ESM1-5 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40 | | MIROC | MIROC-ES2L | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MIROC | MIROC6 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MOHC | HadGEM3-GC31-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MOHC | UKESM1-0-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MPI-M | MPI-ESM1-2-LR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MPI-M/DKRZ [^2] | MPI-ESM1-2-HR | SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NCC | NorESM2-LM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NCC | NorESM2-MM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-CM4 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-ESM4 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NUIST | NESM3 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-AerChem | ssp370 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-CC | ssp245 and ssp585 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg-LR | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CCCma | CanESM5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40[^3] | *Notes:* [^1]: At the time of running, no ssp1-2.6 precipitation data was available. Therefore, we provide `tasmin` and `tamax` for this model and experiment, but not `pr`. All other model/experiment combinations in the above table include all three variables. [^2]: The institution which ran MPI-ESM1-2-HR’s historical (CMIP) simulations is `MPI-M`, while the future (ScenarioMIP) simulations were run by `DKRZ`. Therefore, the institution component of `MPI-ESM1-2-HR` filepaths differ between `historical` and `SSP` scenarios. [^3]: This dataset was previously licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0, but was relicensed under CC BY 4.0 in March, 2023. ## Project methods This project makes use of statistical bias correction and downscaling algorithms, which are specifically designed to accurately represent changes in the extremes. For this reason, we selected Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM), following the method introduced by Cannon et al. (2015), which preserves quantile-specific trends from the GCM while fitting the full distribution for a given day-of-year to a reference dataset (ERA5). We then introduce a similar method tailored to increase spatial resolution while preserving extreme behavior, Quantile-Preserving Localized-Analog Downscaling (QPLAD). Together, these methods provide a robust means to handle both the central and tail behavior seen in climate model output, while aligning the full distribution to a state-of-the-art reanalysis dataset and providing the spatial granularity needed to study surface impacts.

This Collection provides Sentinel-3 SLSTR Level-2 Land Surface Temperature products containing data on land surface temperature measurements on a 1km grid. Radiance is measured in two channels to determine the temperature of the Earth's surface skin in the instrument field of view, where the term "skin" refers to the top surface of bare soil or the effective emitting temperature of vegetation canopies as viewed from above.
Overview Aerosol Optical Depth at 550 nanometers (AOD550; Remer et al. 2019) from the NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Ocean Color Instrument (OCI). AOD550 is an indicator of aerosol loading, with its value proportional to the concentration of aerosol in a cloud-free vertical column of the atmosphere. The data layer is provided as global, 8-day averages mapped to a standard, equal-angle, latitude-longitude grid of 0.1 degree, which equates to approximately 11 kilometers (km) at the equator. Pixels with no data values represent data set to null due to the presence of cloud cover or values outside of quality control thresholds. Data Layer Summary Name, units Aerosol Optical Depth at 550 nm (AOD550) Dimensionless quantity quantifying the extinction of light at 550 nm by aerosols, which is proportional to the amount of aerosol in the vertical column. Spatial resolution 0.1 degree Level-3, mapped to standard grid; global coverage Time Resolution 8 day average Each pixel represents an average of the valid, daily values observed within that grid element during the 8-day interval (approx 1 week). Note: 8 day average data layer is calculated from daily, "refined" (archive-quality) Level 3 PACE AOD550 products available at this link from NASA Earthdata in NetCDF format. Each NetCDF file includes 18 atmospheric products output by a common algorithm, including spectral AOD at 550 nm and several other wavelengths. Earthdata account required to download. Data Version Version 3.1 Data versions change as improved calibration, validation, algorithm refinements, etc are applied over time. See Version 3.1 Release Notes for details. Latency ~1 month This imagery service provides “refined” (archive-quality) PACE data products from March 2024-present, which have an approx 1 month latency. Note: Daily, “near real time (NRT)” Level 3 PACE AOD550 products with less than approximately 24-48 hour latency available at this link from NASA Earthdata in NetCDF format. Each NetCDF file includes 18 data products output by a common algorithm, including spectral AOD at 550 nm and several other wavelengths. Earthdata account required to download. Intended Use: What can I do with this layer? AOD550 is used to monitor distributions of aerosols and how they change over space and time. For example, AOD550 is useful for identifying and tracking areas of high particulate concentrations of smoke and dust that correspond to air quality events, such as wildfires and dust storms. The time (8 day average) and space (0.1 degree) resolution of this data layer enables weekly to seasonal and annual insight at regional to global scales. Limitations of Use: What should I know about the data? Data Status (Maturity): This product is provisional, which means that product results have been reviewed and are in family with heritage data products or other basis of expectation, but have not yet been extensively validated and so may still contain significant errors. Data layer is sufficient for qualitative determinations of product fitness-for-purpose, for testing by operational users, and may be suitable for scientific publication.

Mission and Product Background PACE Mission Overview: Launched in February 2024, NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) observatory uniquely provides near-daily, hyperspectral coverage of Earth’s surface, plus hyperspectral and hyperangular polarimetry. PACE is a comprehensive Earth System mission, delivering all new, space-based information on the health and diversity of aquatic and terrestrial life (algae, plants), aerosol properties & modes (e.g. smoke, dust), cloud types, and more. The Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), PACE's primary sensor, is a hyperspectral (5 nm resolution) imaging spectrometer that measures properties of light from the ultraviolet (UV, 340 nm) through visible and near infrared (NIR, 895 nm) portions of the electromagnetic spectrum in 1.25 to 2.5 nm steps, plus 7 shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands (Werdell et al. 2019). Observations from OCI are moderate spatial resolution (1.2 km2), enabling a relatively frequent revisit time of 1-2 days. This combination of continuous, global coverage and spectral capabilities is unmatched by any other satellite platform, public or private. PACE benefits society by expanding our foundational knowledge of Earth and enabling novel, space-based science and applications tools across water resources (e.g. fisheries), air quality, land monitoring & management, and more. Aerosol Products from PACE OCI For the first time, and with important implications for monitoring aerosols from space, OCI is enabling global measurement of reflected sunlight from the Earth across a broad spectrum from the ultraviolet (UV: 350 nm) to the short-wave infrared (SWIR: 2260 nm) from a single instrument at up to a 1.2 km2 spatial resolution. Seven discrete bands cover SWIR wavelengths, and the spectrum from 350 to 890 nm is continuously covered with a 5 nm bandwidth at 2.5 nm steps. OCI combines in a single instrument (and at an enhanced spatial resolution for the UV) the heritage capabilities of the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), while also covering the oxygen A and B bands. OCI is similar to merging MODIS and OMI into a single instrument, co-registered and with common calibration and a common moderate spatial resolution. Note that OMI’s spatial footprint is 13 × 24 km whereas OCI’s is 1.2 km (both at the sub-satellite point). The spectral capabilities of OCI enable both the development of new aerosol characterization approaches from space as well as continuation of heritage satellite aerosol products (Remer et al. 2019). AOD550 data provided here is one of a suite of measurements output by the Unified Aerosol Algorithm (Remer et al., in prep) using OCI’s broad range of spectral measurements. PACE UAA output includes spectral AOD at 354, 388, 480, 550, and 670 nm over land and water (and additionally at 870, 1240, 1640, and 2220 nm over water), as well as the fine mode fraction of AOD at 550 nm over water. For conditions of moderate or high aerosol loading, it additionally provides estimates of aerosol single scattering albedo and average height. These capabilities are achieved via a combination of NASA heritage Dark Target, Deep Blue, and OMI UV approaches. What other PACE data layers are available?

The World Climate Research Programme's 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) represents an enormous advance in the quality, detail, and scope of climate modeling. The Global Downscaled Projections for Climate Impacts Research dataset makes this modeling more applicable to understanding the impacts of changes in the climate on humans and society with two key developments: trend-preserving bias correction and downscaling. In this dataset, the Climate Impact Lab provides global, daily minimum and maximum air temperature at the surface (`tasmin` and `tasmax`) and daily cumulative surface precipitation (`pr`) corresponding to the CMIP6 historical, ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 scenarios for 25 global climate models on a 1/4-degree regular global grid. ## Accessing the data GDPCIR data can be accessed on the Microsoft Planetary Computer. The dataset is made of of three collections, distinguished by data license: * Public domain (CC0-1.0) collection * Attribution (CC BY 4.0) collection * Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY SA 4.0) collection Each modeling center with bias corrected and downscaled data in this collection falls into one of these license categories - see the [table below](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc-by-sa#available-institutions-models-and-scenarios-by-license-collection) to see which model is in each collection, and see the section below on [Citing, Licensing, and using data produced by this project](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc-by-sa#citing-licensing-and-using-data-produced-by-this-project) for citations and additional information about each license. ## Data format & contents The data is stored as partitioned zarr stores (see https://zarr.readthedocs.io), each of which includes thousands of data and metadata files covering the full time span of the experiment. Historical zarr stores contain just over 50 GB, while SSP zarr stores contain nearly 70GB. Each store is stored as a 32-bit float, with dimensions time (daily datetime), lat (float latitude), and lon (float longitude). The data is chunked at each interval of 365 days and 90 degree interval of latitude and longitude. Therefore, each chunk is `(365, 360, 360)`, with each chunk occupying approximately 179MB in memory. Historical data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 1950 to Dec 31, 2014; SSP data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 2015 to either Dec 31, 2099 or Dec 31, 2100, depending on data availability in the source GCM. The spatial domain covers all 0.25-degree grid cells, indexed by the grid center, with grid edges on the quarter-degree, using a -180 to 180 longitude convention. Thus, the “lon” coordinate extends from -179.875 to 179.875, and the “lat” coordinate extends from -89.875 to 89.875, with intermediate values at each 0.25-degree increment between (e.g. -179.875, -179.625, -179.375, etc). ## Available institutions, models, and scenarios by license collection | Modeling institution | Source model | Available experiments | License collection | | -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | CAS | FGOALS-g3 [^1] | SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM4-8 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM5-0 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | BCC | BCC-CSM2-MR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | CMCC | CMCC-CM2-SR5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | CMCC | CMCC-ESM2 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | CSIRO-ARCCSS | ACCESS-CM2 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40] | | CSIRO | ACCESS-ESM1-5 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40] | | MIROC | MIROC-ES2L | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | MIROC | MIROC6 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | MOHC | HadGEM3-GC31-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | MOHC | UKESM1-0-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | MPI-M | MPI-ESM1-2-LR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | MPI-M/DKRZ [^2] | MPI-ESM1-2-HR | SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | NCC | NorESM2-LM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | NCC | NorESM2-MM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-CM4 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-ESM4 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | NUIST | NESM3 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-AerChem | ssp370 | CC-BY-40] | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-CC | ssp245 and ssp585 | CC-BY-40] | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg-LR | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40] | | CCCma | CanESM5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-SA-40] | *Notes:* [^1]: At the time of running, no ssp1-2.6 precipitation data was available. Therefore, we provide `tasmin` and `tamax` for this model and experiment, but not `pr`. All other model/experiment combinations in the above table include all three variables. [^2]: The institution which ran MPI-ESM1-2-HR’s historical (CMIP) simulations is `MPI-M`, while the future (ScenarioMIP) simulations were run by `DKRZ`. Therefore, the institution component of `MPI-ESM1-2-HR` filepaths differ between `historical` and `SSP` scenarios. ## Project methods This project makes use of statistical bias correction and downscaling algorithms, which are specifically designed to accurately represent changes in the extremes. For this reason, we selected Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM), following the method introduced by Cannon et al. (2015), which preserves quantile-specific trends from the GCM while fitting the full distribution for a given day-of-year to a reference dataset (ERA5). We then introduce a similar method tailored to increase spatial resolution while preserving extreme behavior, Quantile-Preserving Localized-Analog Downscaling (QPLAD). Together, these methods provide a robust means to handle both the central and tail behavior seen in climate model output, while aligning the full distribution to a state-of-the-art reanalysis dataset and providing the spatial granularity needed to study surface impacts.

The World Climate Research Programme's 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) represents an enormous advance in the quality, detail, and scope of climate modeling. The Global Downscaled Projections for Climate Impacts Research dataset makes this modeling more applicable to understanding the impacts of changes in the climate on humans and society with two key developments: trend-preserving bias correction and downscaling. In this dataset, the Climate Impact Lab provides global, daily minimum and maximum air temperature at the surface (`tasmin` and `tasmax`) and daily cumulative surface precipitation (`pr`) corresponding to the CMIP6 historical, ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 scenarios for 25 global climate models on a 1/4-degree regular global grid. ## Accessing the data GDPCIR data can be accessed on the Microsoft Planetary Computer. The dataset is made of of three collections, distinguished by data license: * Public domain (CC0-1.0) collection * Attribution (CC BY 4.0) collection Each modeling center with bias corrected and downscaled data in this collection falls into one of these license categories - see the [table below](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc-by#available-institutions-models-and-scenarios-by-license-collection) to see which model is in each collection, and see the section below on [Citing, Licensing, and using data produced by this project](/dataset/cil-gdpcir-cc-by#citing-licensing-and-using-data-produced-by-this-project) for citations and additional information about each license. ## Data format & contents The data is stored as partitioned zarr stores (see https://zarr.readthedocs.io), each of which includes thousands of data and metadata files covering the full time span of the experiment. Historical zarr stores contain just over 50 GB, while SSP zarr stores contain nearly 70GB. Each store is stored as a 32-bit float, with dimensions time (daily datetime), lat (float latitude), and lon (float longitude). The data is chunked at each interval of 365 days and 90 degree interval of latitude and longitude. Therefore, each chunk is `(365, 360, 360)`, with each chunk occupying approximately 180MB in memory. Historical data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 1950 to Dec 31, 2014; SSP data is daily, excluding leap days, from Jan 1, 2015 to either Dec 31, 2099 or Dec 31, 2100, depending on data availability in the source GCM. The spatial domain covers all 0.25-degree grid cells, indexed by the grid center, with grid edges on the quarter-degree, using a -180 to 180 longitude convention. Thus, the “lon” coordinate extends from -179.875 to 179.875, and the “lat” coordinate extends from -89.875 to 89.875, with intermediate values at each 0.25-degree increment between (e.g. -179.875, -179.625, -179.375, etc). ## Available institutions, models, and scenarios by license collection | Modeling institution | Source model | Available experiments | License collection | | -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- | | CAS | FGOALS-g3 [^1] | SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM4-8 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | INM | INM-CM5-0 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | Public domain datasets | | BCC | BCC-CSM2-MR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CMCC | CMCC-CM2-SR5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CMCC | CMCC-ESM2 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CSIRO-ARCCSS | ACCESS-CM2 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40 | | CSIRO | ACCESS-ESM1-5 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP3-7.0 | CC-BY-40 | | MIROC | MIROC-ES2L | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MIROC | MIROC6 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MOHC | HadGEM3-GC31-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MOHC | UKESM1-0-LL | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MPI-M | MPI-ESM1-2-LR | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | MPI-M/DKRZ [^2] | MPI-ESM1-2-HR | SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NCC | NorESM2-LM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NCC | NorESM2-MM | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-CM4 | SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NOAA-GFDL | GFDL-ESM4 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | NUIST | NESM3 | SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-AerChem | ssp370 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-CC | ssp245 and ssp585 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | EC-Earth-Consortium | EC-Earth3-Veg-LR | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, and ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40 | | CCCma | CanESM5 | ssp1-2.6, ssp2-4.5, ssp3-7.0, ssp5-8.5 | CC-BY-40[^3] | *Notes:* [^1]: At the time of running, no ssp1-2.6 precipitation data was available. Therefore, we provide `tasmin` and `tamax` for this model and experiment, but not `pr`. All other model/experiment combinations in the above table include all three variables. [^2]: The institution which ran MPI-ESM1-2-HR’s historical (CMIP) simulations is `MPI-M`, while the future (ScenarioMIP) simulations were run by `DKRZ`. Therefore, the institution component of `MPI-ESM1-2-HR` filepaths differ between `historical` and `SSP` scenarios. [^3]: This dataset was previously licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0, but was relicensed under CC BY 4.0 in March, 2023. ## Project methods This project makes use of statistical bias correction and downscaling algorithms, which are specifically designed to accurately represent changes in the extremes. For this reason, we selected Quantile Delta Mapping (QDM), following the method introduced by Cannon et al. (2015), which preserves quantile-specific trends from the GCM while fitting the full distribution for a given day-of-year to a reference dataset (ERA5). We then introduce a similar method tailored to increase spatial resolution while preserving extreme behavior, Quantile-Preserving Localized-Analog Downscaling (QPLAD). Together, these methods provide a robust means to handle both the central and tail behavior seen in climate model output, while aligning the full distribution to a state-of-the-art reanalysis dataset and providing the spatial granularity needed to study surface impacts.

Overview and Intended Use GPM IMERG Early Precipitation Rate L3 V07 (GPM IMERG Early Precipitation L3 Half Hourly 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree V07 (GPM_3IMERGHHE 07)) is an image service derived from the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Early dataset. This image service is intended for visualizing, mapping, and analyzing near-real-time global precipitation rate estimates from the GPM IMERG Early dataset at 30-minute temporal resolution and 0.1° x 0.1° spatial resolution. To access the REST endpoint for the service, input the URL into a browser or select View just above the URL. Limitations of Use: The image service shows precipitation rate (mm/hr), approximately four hours after observation. NoData values, and values less than 0.03 mm/hr (the current threshold value for the IMERG algorithm) have been removed. The image service provides global coverage with a temporal span from 06/01/2000 0:00 UTC to present at 30-minute intervals. The service is updated every three hours to incorporate the new granules. IMERG is an algorithm that estimates precipitation rate from multiple passive microwave sensors in the GPM constellation, the GPM Dual-Frequency Radar, and infrared (IR) sensors mounted on geostationary satellites. Currently, the near-real-time Early estimates have no concluding calibration. Briefly describing the Early Run, the input precipitation estimates computed from the various satellite passive microwave sensors are intercalibrated to the Combined Radar-Radiometer Algorithm (CORRA) product (because it is presumed to be the best snapshot Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/GPM estimate after adjustment to the monthly Global Precipitation Climatology Project Satellite-Gauge (GPCP SG)), then "forward morphed" and combined with microwave precipitation-calibrated geo-IR fields to provide half-hourly precipitation estimates on a 0.1°x0.1° (roughly 10x10 km) grid over the globe. Precipitation phase is computed using analyses of surface temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Temporal Coverage The source dataset is in UTC time but the service is displayed in the Map Viewer in local time. The data is available in 30-minute intervals, and the map visualization may be modified by opening the Time Slider Settings menu from the icon on the time slider bar. The total temporal coverage may be limited to the desired range and the time interval may also be changed. The options in the time interval units are based on the total time range input, so a shorter time range will enable shorter time units to be selected from the time interval drop-down menu. If the time settings are set to more than 30-minute intervals, the first time slice in the time interval is visible. Portal Options Select Modify Map to customize the layer visualization. More information about the image service capabilities may be found in the REST endpoint. In the portal, the basemap may be changed by selecting the desired option from the Basemap menu.
GPM IMERG Final precipitation rate(GES DISC Dataset: GPM IMERG Final Precipitation L3 Half Hourly 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree V07 (GPM_3IMERGHH 07))is derived from the Integrated Multi SatellitE Retrievals for GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) algorithm. Precipitation rate measurements are taken from multiple satellite based passive microwave sensors in the GPM constellation. The Final Run IMERG data product is distinct in that it combines data from ground sources and satellite-based observations to provide research quality precipitation rate data. Precipitation rate is depicted in mm/hr in 30-minute intervals, beginning on January 1, 1998. The "Final", satellite-gauge product is available ~3.5 months after the observation month, and includes both forward and backward morphing and monthly gauge analyses. In the post-real-time Final Run, the multi-satellite half-hourly estimates are adjusted so that they sum to the Final Run monthly satellite-gauge combination. Briefly describing the Final Run, the input precipitation estimates computed from the various satellite passive microwave sensors are inter-calibrated to the Combined Radar-Radiometer Algorithm (CORRA) product (because it is presumed to be the best snapshot Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/GPM estimate after adjustment to the monthly Global Precipitation Climatology Project Satellite-Gauge (GPCP SG)), then "forward/backward morphed" and combined with microwave precipitation-calibrated geo-IR fields, and adjusted with seasonal GPCP SG surface precipitation data to provide half-hourly and monthly precipitation estimates.

Abstract and Limitations of Use: The Annual Global High-Resolution Extreme Heat Estimates (GEHE), 1983-2016 data set provides global 0.05 degrees (~5 km) gridded annual counts of the number of days where the maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGTmax) exceeded dangerous hot-humid heat thresholds for the period 1983 to 2016. This historical data set does not have a routine update frequency. The thresholds are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) criteria for occupational heat-related risk, defined as days where WBGTmax > 28, 30, and 32 degrees Celsius. This data set also includes the annual rate of change in the number of extreme humid-heat days that exceeded these thresholds. GEHE has a wide array of applications for mapping and quantifying extreme humid-heat dynamics over a 34-year time period, and is the highest resolution data set of its kind to date. GEHE provides scientific researchers and decision makers from a wide range of arenas, including climate change, public and occupational health, urban planning and design, hazards risk reduction, and food security, insights into how humid-heat has impacted human and environmental systems worldwide. The data set can be used to pinpoint how changes in extreme humid-heat impact human health and well-being, as well as ecological systems, across scales of analysis, from local, to national, to global. Use the Multidimensional Slider in ArcGIS Map Viewer to select a WBGT variable and explore annual slices from 1983–2016. This is the recommended method for viewing changes over time in this multidimensional dataset. Trend variables represent change across the full 1983–2016 period and do not have individual yearly slices. Intended Use: To provide a high-resolution, longitudinal global data set of annual extreme humid-heat.

The runs at 00:00 and 12:00 provide data for the next 168 hours. The runs at 06:00 and 18:00 provide data for the next 67 hours. The forecast reference time represents the nominal data time or start time of a model forecast run, rather than the time when the data is available. ## Archive length and latency As of December 2025, the archive contains data from December 2023 onwards. Forecasts will continue to be available for at least two years from their data date. The data is typically available 6 hours after the model run time. ## Technical specs The data is available as NetCDF files. NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-orientated data access and a library that supports the interface. It is composed of 3 components: * Variables store the data * Dimensions give relevant dimension information for the variables * Attributes provide auxiliary information about the variables or dataset itself NetCDF is used within the atmospheric and oceanic science communities and is network transparent, allowing for it to be accessed by computers that store integers, characters and floating-point numbers. Iris supports NetCDF files through reading, writing and handling. Iris implements a model based on the CF conventions, giving a format-agnostic interface for working with data. Find further support on using Iris with NetCDF files. ## Help us improve the data services we offer Join the Met Office research panel to help us understand how people interact with weather and climate data, uncover challenges and explore opportunities. ## How to cite Met Office global deterministic 10km forecast was accessed on DATE from the Microsoft Planetary Computer (https://zenodo.org/records/7261897). ## License British Crown copyright 2023-2025, the Met Office, is licensed under CC BY-SA. ## Providers Met Office See all datasets managed by Met Office. ## Contact [servicedesk@metoffice.gov.uk](mailto:servicedesk@metoffice.gov.uk).

The Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) contains citizen science data from Landslide Reporter put into the database as Landslide Reporter Catalog (event_import_source = ‘LRC’) and data from NASA’s Global Landslide Catalog (event_import_source = ‘GLC’) compiled since 2007. Background The Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) was developed with the goal of identifying rainfall-triggered landslide events around the world, regardless of size, impacts or location. The GLC considers all types of mass movements triggered by rainfall and some triggered by other events, that have been reported in the media, disaster databases, scientific reports, or other sources. The GLC has been compiled since 2007 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) is a worldwide database of landslide events. It currently includes NASA’s Global Landslide Catalog (GLC) and other landslide reports contributed by citizen scientists. In the future, other landslide inventories will be added to COOLR. Methods We use 'landslide' as a general term to represent all event types. The catalog differentiates between landslide types when the information is available in the landslide_category field. COOLR follows a similar methodology to the GLC, and its fields and other information are documented in the publications below. Landslide events in the GLC were obtained from online news media, links to reported landslides in newspapers, hazard databases, scientific reports, blog entries, and personal communication and other sources. Online news articles serve as the primary sources of information for the landslide catalog and are found using Google Alerts (www.google.com/alerts) and other search engine options. Citizen science points submitted to COOLR through Landslide Reporter are checked for accuracy compared to the source material, accuracy of location and landslide identification, and the quality of the description provided. The source of the information in all COOLR points and polygons are described in the individual objects, which can be found in the source_name and source_link columns.

The Global Drought Hazard project is a collection of spatial raster datasets that provide access to statistical extreme value analyses of the Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (6-month SPEI) to identify high risk areas on a global scale. The source data are monthly spatial raster datasets from the Climatology and Climate Services Laboratory's Global SPEI Database for the period from January 1902 to December 2018. Each raster dataset has a spatial resolution of about 0.5 degrees, the values of which we converted into time series for each grid cell. These time series are used to model the number of months above selected SPEI thresholds (e.g. SPEI -1.5 or lower) for a range of return periods (e.g. 100 years) via Poisson-Generalized Pareto Point Process models.
