Description

Weighted Climate Dataset is a user-friendly dashboard allowing one to explore and download climate data weighted by measures of economic activity and aggregated at the national or subnational scale.

The authors pipelined all the preprocessing procedures in a unified framework and validated data through a systematic comparison with those employed in leading climate impact studies. Its added value is in process available information from different climate data sources to provide spatially aggregated data with global coverage for countries and regions and for a variety of climate indicators.

The dashboard allows users to:

  • Choose to retrieve raw climate data about temperature, precipitation and SPEI (Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index) from different sources and geographical/time resolutions;
  • Weight raw climate data using alternative gridded measures of economic activity;
  • Explore and download the resulting dataset in a single, accessible, and organized repository in a flexible way.
