Datasets

This dataset provides climate and energy indicators for the Europe as part of the Copernicus climate change service (C3S) Energy operational service. The climate-relevant indicators for the energy sector considered are: air temperature, precipitation, incoming solar radiation, wind speed at 10 m and 100 m, and mean sea level air pressure. The energy indicators are electricity demand and power generation from various sources: wind (both onshore and offshore), solar and hydro (run-of-river and reservoir) power.

The Pan-European Climate Database (PECD) provides information on climate and renewable energy variables for both historical and future time periods. For historical data, the ERA5 global reanalysis serves as the underlying climate data, while future projections are based on selected CMIP6 global climate models. The raw climate model data are further processed through downscaling to achieve higher spatial and temporal resolution and by applying bias adjustment.

This dataset contains climatic suitability indicators for the Aedes albopictus (tiger mosquito) for Europe produced within the C3S European Health service. The provided indicators are the climatic suitability for the presence of Aedes albopictus and the season length of presence of Aedes albopictus. This mosquito transmits vector-borne diseases, such as dengue and chikungunya.

The dataset contains the number of hot and cold spell days using different European-wide and national/regional definitions developed within the C3S European Health service.
These heat wave and cold spell days are available for different future time periods and use different climate change scenarios.

This dataset provides global climate and energy indicators from 1950 to the present at hourly and coarser temporal resolutions, offering a long-term, harmonised data foundation for energy-sector applications. It enables users to analyse energy indicators for the past climate, supporting energy planning, system design, risk assessments, climate impact modelling and model benchmarking.
