Data

Each data set is described on its own page and classified in one of the four spheres of atmosphere, land, ocean, ice and snow or in the categories of climate indices or society. Each rubric page offers relevant parameters, suitable data sets and further information. The data collection is constantly under construction.

Note: A regular maintenance window on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. allows us to add new data sets and features to our database. During this time, the data center can still be used, but there may be interruptions.
