TY - DATA ID - mistry2019ahdh T1 - A High-Resolution (0.25 degree) Historical Global Gridded Dataset of Climate Extreme Indices (1970-2016) using GLDAS data AU - Mistry, Malcolm Noshir PY - 2019/02/04/ T2 - Supplement to: Mistry, MN (2019): A high resolution global gridded historical dataset of climate extreme indices. Data, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.3390/data4010041 PB - PANGAEA DO - 10.1594/PANGAEA.898014 UR - https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.898014 N2 - Users are recommended to consult the author (malcolm.mistry@unive.it / malmistry1977@gmail.com) for an updated version which includes more recent years. 71 core and non-core climate extreme indices (CEIs) based on the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI), and the Expert Team on Sector-specific Climate Indices (ET-SCI). The indices are computed using R ClimPACT2 package. The dataset does not include two indices (Heating and Cooling Degree Days) as these are computed separately for various baseline temperature (thresholds) -See 'Historical Global-Gridded Degree-Days: A High Spatio-Resolution Database of CDD and HDD'-. All indices are computed using daily near-surface maximum and minimum temperature (deg C), and near-surface precipitation (mm/day) variables from Global Land Data Acquisation System (GLDAS) ver. 2 (@ 0.25 degree) Important: GLDAS ver-2 comprises of two sub-versions (ver. 2.0 for period 1970-2010 and ver 2.1 for period 2000-present day). The CEIs computed using the input temperature and precipitation variables may report a break in time-series at a few locations around the years 2010-11. Users are therefore advised caution when using the data for trend analysis for instance.
