Project: Climate Change and Health in sub-Saharan Africa - This Research Unit (RU) addresses the growing public health concern of accelerated disease burden as a consequence of climate change. So far, there have been very limited concerted efforts by public health scientists, climate change researchers, and social scientists to quantify the climate change impacts on human health, and to design appropriate adaptation strategies. This is particularly true for vulnerable populations in sub-Saharan Africa, despite the facts that rural populations in Africa are strongly affected by climate change and exhibit the lowest adaptive capacity. Indeed, this sub-continent faces an unfinished agenda of combating undernutrition and infectious diseases with all the negative societal and economic consequences. At the same time, non-communicable conditions have been rapidly emerging in sub-Saharan Africa over the past decades, and their management now competes with the limited resources of the local health systems. To date, the additional impacts of climate change on three of these major health problems in the region, namely childhood undernutrition, malaria and cardio-vascular dysfunction have been insufficiently defined.Therefore, this RU aims at i) establishing the causal pathways from weather changes through hydrological, agricultural and economic factors to undernutrition, malaria and heat stress among defined rural populations in Burkina Faso and Kenya, ii) projecting future developments along these pathways, iii) quantifying the effectiveness, the socio-economic costs, and the changes in projections of promising climate-specific adaptation strategies, iv) upscaling the historic and projected scenarios from the local to the national level, and finally, v) identifying broader societal impacts related to long-term health consequences of climate change. This project was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).Summary: The CCH project (Climate Change and Health in sub-Saharan Africa, https://cch-africa.de) focuses on the rising health impacts of climate change, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where vulnerable populations are most at risk. Despite the urgency, there has been little collaboration across disciplines to assess these effects or develop effective adaptation strategies. Key health challenges - childhood undernutrition, malaria, and cardiovascular dysfunction—remain under-researched in the context of climate change. As part of this experiment, we generated a global dataset of Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) projections to serve as a bioclimatic indicator for quantifying the potential health impacts of climate change. An ensemble of daily average WBGT estimates based on the primary and secondary ISIMIP3b (https://www.isimip.org) model ensemble (10 models) is provided. The ensemble includes the historical (1850–2014), SSP1-2.6 (2015–2100), SSP3-7.0 (2015–2100), and SSP5-8.5 (2015–2100) experiments.WBGT was estimated on an hourly basis using the PyWBGT Python package (Kong and Huber, 2022, doi:10.1029/2021EF002334), based on the Liljegren method (Liljegren et al., 2008, doi:10.1080/15459620802310770). This method estimates WBGT from 2 m air temperature (tas), near-surface relative humidity (hurs), surface pressure (ps), 10 m wind speed (sfcWind), and surface downward solar radiation (rsds). Hourly values were derived from daily values using an average diurnal cycle calculated separately for each Julian day. WBGT was estimated for each hour and then averaged to obtain daily values. The dataset covers the entire globe, excluding Antarctica.The following 10 models from the ISIMIP3b projects are used:CanESM5 - r1i1p1f1CNRM-CM6-1 - r1i1p1f2CNRM-ESM2-1 - r1i1p1f2EC-Earth3 - r1i1p1f1GFDL-ESM4 - r1i1p1f1IPSL-CM6A-LR - r1i1p1f1MIROC6 - r1i1p1f1MPI-ESM1-2-HR - r1i1p1f1MRI-ESM2-0 - r1i1p1f1UKESM1-0-LL - r1i1p1f2

Project: Ensemble of bias adjusted RCMs based on CORDEX-EUR11 - An ensemble of bias adjusted regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The ensemble is based on the EURO-CORDEX (coordinated regional downscaling experiment for Europe, https://www.euro-cordex.net) ensemble for the domain CORDEX-EUR11. ISIMIP3BASD (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4686991) method was used for bias adjustment. The method is based on a parametric quantile mapping, permitting trend preservation of each quantile. E-OBS v19.0e (https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JD028200) data set was used as reference data. The bias adjusted ensemble contains daily temperature (minimum, average and maximum) and precipitation data. This study was funded by Clim4Vitis project - 'Climate change impact mitigation for European viticulture: knowledge transfer for an integrated approach' (https://clim4vitis.eu), funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under grant agreement no. 810176. Summary: An ensemble of bias adjusted regional climate model simulations based on EURO-CORDEX (CORDEX-EUR11). The data set covers daily temperature (minimum, average and maximum) and precipitation for historical, rcp26, rcp45 and rcp85 experiments covering a period from 1971 to 2100. In total 8 different RCMs from 8 institutes are included in the data set. ISIMIP3BASD v2.4.1 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4686991) method was used for bias adjustment. The method is based on a parametric quantile mapping, including trend preservation of each quantile. Bias adjustment was performed for each variable separately. We used E-OBS v19.0e (https://doi.org/10.1029/2017JD028200) data to calibrate the bias adjustment transfer functions for the period 1971 to 2005. The data was developed and utilized within the Clim4Vitis project - Climate change impact mitigation for European viticulture (https://clim4vitis.eu).

Project: CLM regional climate model runs forced by the global IPCC scenario runs - These regional climate simulations have been funded by the BMBF and computed at DKRZ by the group "Model and Data" of MPI-M, Hamburg, in close cooperation with BTU Cottbus, HZG Geesthacht and PIK Potsdam. Serving as community model, the climate version of the local model (CLM) of the DWD was used to simulate the regional climate of the 20th century (1960-2000) and 21st century (2001-2100) in Europe. The regional model runs are forced by the global IPCC scenario runs ( A1B and B1 ,http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc/emission/index.htm ) with different assumptions regarding the development of global greenhouse gas concentrations to explore future developments in the European climate on a regional scale. CLM (see http://www.clm-community.eu/index.php?menuid=198 ) was run in non hydrostatic mode with 0.165 degree horizontal grid resolution and was forced 6 hourly by the output of the global climate model runs with ECHAM5/MPIOM. The climate of the 20th century was simulated by three 20th century realization runs, set off at different initialization times. For storage in and download from this data base, the data has been transformed into time series of single model variables and is provided in two data streams (referenced as "data stream 2" and "data stream 3"). Data stream 2 is given on a rotated grid with 0.165 deg. spatial resolution. Data stream 3 is projected onto a non-rotated grid with 0.2 deg. spatial resolution (usual geographical coordinates). For the data transformation between the respective grids the cdo-routines have been used. For further information regarding the original model output (referenced as "data stream 0" and "data stream 1") please contact model(at)dkrz.de. See http://sga.wdc-climate.de for more details on CLM simulations in the context of the BMBF funding priority "klimazwei", some useful information on handling climate model data and the data access regulations. Summary: The experiment CLM_C20_3_D3 contains European regional climate simulations of the years 1960-2000 on a regular geographical grid. The data are generated during post processing of the corresponding data stream 2 experiment (CLM_C20_3_D2) of regional climate model runs (CLM non hydrostatic, see http://www.clm-community.eu ). The simulations of the 20th century (1960-2000) have been forced by the third (3) run of the global 20th century climate (EH5-T63L31_OM-GR1.5L40_20C_3_6H) with observed anthropogenic forcing. In data stream 3 (_D3) the output variables of CLM data stream 2 and some additionally derived parameters are stored as time series on a regular grid with a horizontal spacing of 0.2 degree. The model parameters have been transformed onto the regular geographical grid by the CDO routines. Please note, that none of the variables has been corrected for topographical differences between the two grids. The model domain of data stream 3 covers the European region starting at 34.6/-10.6 (lat/lon, centre of lower left grid box) with an increment of 0.2 degree. The number of grid points is 177/238 (lat/lon). For some model variables and additionally derived parameters some statistics on daily, monthly or yearly basis are available.

Summary: The experiment CLM_A1B_2_D2 contains European regional climate simulations of the years 2001-2100 on a rotated grid (CLM non hydrostatic, 0.165 deg. hor. resolution, see http://www.clm-community.eu ). It is forced by the second (2) run of the global IPCC scenario A1B (EH5-T63L31_OM-GR1.5L40_A1B_2_6H), which describes a possible future world of very rapid economic growth, global population peaking in mid-century and rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies with a balance across all energy sources. In data stream 2 (_D2) the output variables of CLM are stored as time series on a rotated grid. The model region starts at -20.8725/-23.7275 (lat/lon in rotated coordinates; centre of lower left grid box) with rotated North Pole at 39.25/-162.0 (lat/lon). The number of grid points is 255/241 (lat/lon). The sponge zone (numerically unreliable boundary grid points) of the original model output has been cut off. The regional model variables include two-dimensional near surface fields, as well as soil and atmospheric fields on different layers. The soil fields are simulated on 10 different levels with a maximum depth of 15 meters. The atmospheric fields are given on 6 pressure levels (200, 500, 700, 850, 925 and 1000 hPa). The time interval of the output fields ranges from 1 to 3 hours and includes daily output fields, depending on the respective variables. Please contact sga"at"dkrz.de for data request details.

Data stream 2 is given on a rotated grid with 0.165 deg. spatial resolution. Data stream 3 is projected onto a non-rotated grid with 0.2 deg. spatial resolution (usual geographical coordinates). For the data transformation between the respective grids the cdo-routines have been used. For further information regarding the original model output (referenced as "data stream 0" and "data stream 1") please contact model(at)dkrz.de. See http://sga.wdc-climate.de for more details on CLM simulations in the context of the BMBF funding priority "klimazwei", some useful information on handling climate model data and the data access regulations. Summary: The experiment CLM_B1_2_D3 contains European regional climate simulations of the years 2001-2100 on a regular geographical grid. The data are generated during post processing of the corresponding data stream 2 experiment (CLM_B1_2_D2) of regional climate model runs (CLM non hydrostatic, see http://www.clm-community.eu ). It is forced by the second (2) run of the global IPCC scenario B1 (EH5-T63L31_OM-GR1.5L40_B1_2_6H), which describes a possible future world with global population peaking in mid-century and rapid change in economic structures towards a service and information economy. An introduction of clean and resource efficient technologies was assumed. In data stream 3 (_D3) the output variables of CLM data stream 2 and some additionally derived parameters are stored as time series on a regular geograhical grid (0.2 deg. hor. res.). The transformation has been done via CDO routines. Please note, that none of the variables has been corrected for topographical differences between the two grids. The model domain of data stream 3 covers the European region starting at 34.6/-10.6 (lat/lon, centre of lower left grid box) with an increment of 0.2 degree. The number of grid points is 177/238 (lat/lon). For some model variables and additionally derived parameters some statistics on daily, monthly or yearly basis are available.

Project: CLM regional climate model runs forced by the global IPCC scenario runs - These regional climate simulations have been funded by the BMBF and computed at DKRZ by the group "Model and Data" of MPI-M, Hamburg, in close cooperation with BTU Cottbus, HZG Geesthacht and PIK Potsdam. Serving as community model, the climate version of the local model (CLM) of the DWD was used to simulate the regional climate of the 20th century (1960-2000) and 21st century (2001-2100) in Europe. The regional model runs are forced by the global IPCC scenario runs ( A1B and B1 ,http://www.grida.no/climate/ipcc/emission/index.htm ) with different assumptions regarding the development of global greenhouse gas concentrations to explore future developments in the European climate on a regional scale. CLM (see http://www.clm-community.eu/index.php?menuid=198 ) was run in non hydrostatic mode with 0.165 degree horizontal grid resolution and was forced 6 hourly by the output of the global climate model runs with ECHAM5/MPIOM. The climate of the 20th century was simulated by three 20th century realization runs, set off at different initialization times. For storage in and download from this data base, the data has been transformed into time series of single model variables and is provided in two data streams (referenced as "data stream 2" and "data stream 3"). Data stream 2 is given on a rotated grid with 0.165 deg. spatial resolution. Data stream 3 is projected onto a non-rotated grid with 0.2 deg. spatial resolution (usual geographical coordinates).

Summary: The experiment CLM_C20_1_D2 contains European regional climate simulations of the years 1960-2000 on a rotated grid (CLM non hydrostatic, 0.165 degree hor. resolution, see http://www.clm-community.eu ). The simulations of the 20th century (1960-2000) have been forced by the first (1) run of the global 20th century climate (EH5-T63L31_OM-GR1.5L40_20C_1_6H) with observed anthropogenic forcing. In data stream 2 (_D2) the output variables of CLM are stored as time series on a rotated grid. The model region starts at -20.8725/-23.7275 (lat/lon in rotated coordinates; centre of lower left grid box) with an increment of 0.165 degree. The position of the North Pole in the rotated grid is: 39.25/-162.0 (lat/lon). The number of grid points is 255/241 (lat/lon). The sponge zone (numerically unreliable boundary grid points) of the original model output has been cut off. The regional model variables include two-dimensional near surface fields, as well as soil and atmospheric fields on different layers. The soil fields are simulated on 10 different levels with a maximum depth of 15 meters. The atmospheric fields are given on 6 pressure levels (200, 500, 700, 850, 925 and 1000 hPa). The time interval of the output fields ranges from 1 to 3 hours and includes daily output fields, depending on the respective variables. Please contact sga"at"dkrz.de for data request details.
