The new data download tool helps users find, select, aggregate, and download climate data for a suite of projections and variables.
Cal-Adapt - Building California’s Resilience to Climate Change through Open Data
The GIF was recently awarded AWS Cloud Credits for Research to explore, prototype, and develop the use of distributed cloud computing resources to build the next-generation of Cal-Adapt which will provide users with fast, dynamic, interactive exploration of climate variables.
Hourly Sea Level Projections
This new tool explores hourly sea level projections at selected Tide gauge locations along the California coast.
Extended Drought Scenarios
This new tool explores data for two 20-year drought scenarios derived from LOCA downscaled meteorological and hydrological simulations, one for the earlier part and one for the latter part of the 21st century.
Explore warm nights and heat waves with the Extreme Heat Tool on Cal-Adapt
The Extreme Heat Tool utilizes LOCA downscaled daily maximum and minimum temperature data to visualize the frequency and duration of extreme heat events for California.
How is the new Cal-Adapt different from the original Cal-Adapt?
The new Cal-Adapt (Cal-Adapt 2.0) dramatically expands the capacities of the initial version of Cal-Adapt, which was released in 2011, in the following ways: New climate projections More powerful visualizations Improved access to primary data and a new public API Connections with supporting…
Underlying Data and Model Selection in Cal-Adapt 2.0
Through Cal-Adapt, users can download projected climate data associated with 32 General Circulation Models (GCMs, also known as Global Climate Models). This suite of models—known as CMIP5—was used as the basis for the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment…
