Additional Climate Projection Data

This page features additional climate-related datasets that are not currently integrated into the Analytics Engine but are available for download and independent use. These datasets are produced by partners like UCLA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. This page also includes important usage notes, source links, and references to supporting documentation to help users understand and apply the data appropriately.

Sea Level Rise (SLR)

Source: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U.C. San Diego
Link: https://cadcat.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html#hmet/
Description: Hourly sea level rise projections data generated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography for 13 tidal stations along the California coast and San Francisco Bay covering the 1950-2100 time period.
Note: Please be aware that the original netcdf files in this directory were not properly organized and when unpacked the data will not align properly with the 2-d array indices. These original bad data files were removed and replaced with corrected data files in November 2024.

Hydrologic Data

Source: NOAH-MP and VIC models
Links: NOAH-MP simulations, VIC simulations
Description: UCLA generated daily hydrology data from VIC and NOAH-MP forced with a subset of LOCA2-hybrid and four non-biased correct WRF dynamically downscaled data.

We strongly recommend reading the California Climate Change Assessment Data Justification Memos before downloading and using the data
