Datasets

This entry covers pressure-level data at the original time resolution (once every 12 hours).

This dataset provides a complete historical reconstruction for a set of indices representing human thermal stress and discomfort in outdoor conditions. This dataset, also known as ERA5-HEAT (Human thErmAl comforT) represents the current state-of-the-art for bioclimatology data record production.
The dataset is organised around two main variables:

the mean radiant temperature (MRT)
the universal thermal climate index (UTCI)

This catalogue entry provides a time series of thermal comfort indices, organised to make time the primary dimension for analysis and extraction. For any user-defined location (point) or small area, the dataset returns the temporal evolution of the selected variables, enabling efficient time-series studies without requiring users to download and manage full global gridded files.

The International Grand Global Ensemble (TIGGE) dataset consists of global medium-range ensemble forecasts from thirteen numerical weather prediction (NWP) centres.
The dataset has been available since October 2006. TIGGE was established as a key component of THORPEX: a World Weather Research Programme to accelerate the improvements in the accuracy of 1-day to 2 week high-impact weather forecasts (THORPEX stands for THe Observing system Research and Predictability EXperiment)
