ETCCDI Indices from model simulations available

Jana Sillmann and her team have compeleted the computation of ETCCDI indices based on daily tempertaure and precipitation simulated by the climate models participating CMIP3 and CMIP5 projects. The indices data and documentations are available in NetCDF format from http://www.cccma.ec.gc.ca/data/climdex .

ETCCDI Climate Extreme Indices dataset

This is a global land-based climate extremes dataset produced through the coordination of the ETCCDMI. It comprises of 27 indices of temperature and precipitation computed from daily station data using the RClimDex software .

Note that more up-to-date indices are available from www.climdex.org

Indices are organized by country. Data for one country are packed in one zip file. A file with the name of the country contains details of the coordinates of all stations for the country. Data for the following countries are available for download: Albania, Algeria, Antarctica, Files from APN next work, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Boliva, Bosnia and Herzegovina , Botswana, Brazil, Burkina Gaso, Canada, Cayman, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Curacao, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica Republic, D.R.

A gridded (2.5° x 3.75° from 1951 to 2003) version of this data set , produced by Lisa Alexander (Alenander et al. 2005) is also available .
  • The European Climate Assessment and Dataset website also provide indices computed for European countries.
