Title
Modeled future climate metrics (SSP1-2.6), Wisconsin 2021-2100 (2026 release, full version)
Description
This geodatabase contains a full version of the probabilistic downscaled climate modeling data produced by the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts' (WICCI) Climate Working Group. These data are the same as used in WICCI's 2026 climate assessment report (available at https://wicci.wisc.edu/). The data is meant for planners, decision-makers, and researchers to incorporate the latest and most detailed climate modeling data into their projects and analysis. This file contains several climate metrics across multiple 20-year periods including 2021-2040, 2041-2060, 2061-2080, and 2081-2100 for the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) 1-2.6 model. These metrics include both temperature and precipitation metrics including average maximum temperature, average minimum temperature, and precipitation totals. These averages and totals are aggregated both annually and by season for each 20-year period. In addition, the data includes the estimated number of days per month that meet commonly-used thresholds: days where the maximum temperature exceeds 90 F, 95 F, or 100 F; days where the minimum temperature exceeds 70 F or falls below 32 F or 0 F; days where precipitation exceeds 1", 2", and 3"; and days where there is no precipitation. Both raster and vector contour layers are provided for each metric. The spatial resolution of the data is 0.08 x 0.0625 degrees (approximately 4x4 miles on the ground). The python code used to produce this simplified version is available at https://github.com/TheGeographer/DownscaledClimateData. A 'how to' guide for viewing and analyzing these data is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IoZHkLF1faWOuA0lH7zjda7YxBsextPwj97GMAdYJy8/edit?usp=sharing.
