News and updates on Climate Tools, Data and Resources on Cal-Adapt
The California Energy Commission and UC Berkeley’s Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) are jointly hosting a public webinar to introduce users to our new Extreme Precipitation tool and to solicit input on the continued development of this and other tools on Cal-Adapt.
The GIF was recently awarded AWS Cloud Credits for Research to explore, prototype, and develop the use of distributed cloud computing resources to build the next-generation of Cal-Adapt which will provide users with fast, dynamic, interactive exploration of climate variables.
This new tool explores hourly sea level projections at selected Tide gauge locations along the California coast.
This new tool explores data for two 20-year drought scenarios derived from LOCA downscaled meteorological and hydrological simulations, one for the earlier part and one for the latter part of the 21st century.
The California Energy Commission and UC Berkeley’s Geospatial Innovation Facility are jointly hosting a public webinar to introduce the data, tools, and features available through Cal-Adapt, and also to solicit input on the continued development of the site.
The Extreme Heat Tool utilizes LOCA downscaled daily maximum and minimum temperature data to visualize the frequency and duration of extreme heat events for California.
UC Berkeley’s Geospatial Innovation Facility (GIF) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) are pleased to invite you to a duo of energy sector-focused workshops for eliciting needs related to climate adaptation on September 12th in Sacramento at the California Energy Commission (Imbrecht Hearing Room).
The new Cal-Adapt (Cal-Adapt 2.0) dramatically expands the capacities of the initial version of Cal-Adapt, which was released in 2011, in the following ways: New climate projections More powerful visualizations Improved access to primary data and a new public API Connections with supporting…
Through Cal-Adapt, users can download projected climate data associated with 32 General Circulation Models (GCMs, also known as Global Climate Models). This suite of models—known as CMIP5—was used as the basis for the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment…
We would like to feature how people around California are using Cal-Adapt for planning, assessment, research, teaching, and more. If you want to share your experiences, we would love to hear from you! Email us your story at support@cal-adapt.org with the heading User Story.
