CLIMASCOPE 2.0HOW IT CAN SERVE AS ERMITAGE DATA PORTALJeff Price, World Wildlife Fund US, Rachel Warren, Tyndall CentreCIAS 2.0Basic Data Flow Climate Data from CIAS-Tyndall (Tyndall Climate Change Centre) is deposited in the Tropical Data Hub (TDH James Cook University). DOI provided for all data

Researchers can obtain the data for their own uses. Data is also transferred to a series of impacts models not requiring feedbacks.

Results from models are transferred back to the TDH.

Users can query climate change data, climate change impacts data or both.CIAS Data (TDH)

CIAS -TDH

ERMITAGE Data into aData/outputs systemResearchers can download the climate data in many different formats to use in their own models (climgen ascii, csv, esri-ascii, GeoTIFF, netcdf

A climate layer is a single time slice, for a single period (monthly, seasonal, yearly) for a single emission scenario for a single GCM. Thus a years worth of monthly data would be 12 climate layers, etc. There are 18 GCMs, 16 variables, 12 emission scenarios, either 10 or 100 time slices (30 year moving average or every year) for annual, seasonal and monthly periods. 3Downscaled climate, from MAGICC6 & ClimGEN or GENIELPJ output: water stress, ecosystems, agricultural yieldsMagPIE output: land use, agricultural production, etc

Economic outputs (from TIAM, REMINDR, GEMINI-E3)

CIAS -TDH

These models then create their own layers thatare sent back to the TDHTDH

Users then query ClimaScope 2.0 to help them determine which way to go Which policies help avoid the most impactsAnd how to start preparing for a climate changed world
