Accessing the Data

Climate Profiles are accessible on the Cal-Adapt: Analytics Engine in two locations:

  1. An extensive set of pre-generated Standard Years and FTMYs are available in the Cal-Adapt: Data Catalog. The pre-generated Standard Year 8760s and FTMYs are available for four common energy sector planning horizons: present-day (1.2°C GWL), near-future (1.5°C GWL), mid-century (2.0°C GWL), and mid-late-century (2.5°C). For more information on global warming levels (GWL), see our guidance here.
  2. To generate a custom climate profile, including a custom GWL-based or time-based FTMY, check out the custom_climate_profiles notebook, available on the Analytics Engine JupyterHub. Standard Year 8760s are not available via a time-based approach.
