Description
CHELSA is a mechanistic downscaling model that links large-scale atmospheric conditions with local topographic factors to produce very high-resolution climate data. It includes commonly used climate variables for impact modeling, such as air temperature, precipitation, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, and derived variables.
CHELSAch-highres-climatologies is a high resolution climate dataset generated with the CHELSA downscaling model. It consists of long term - 30 year mean aggregated surface variables.
Climatological summaries are provided for: Near-Surface Wind Speed, Daily Mean Near-Surface Air Temperature, Daily Maximum Near-Surface Air Temperature, Daily Minimum Near-Surface Air Temperature. Air Temperature Lapse Rate, Total Cloud Cover Percentage, Precipitation, Surface Downwelling Shortwave Flux in Air
Files are provided in NetCDF format with standardized metadata.
