HCDP manuscript published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
A manuscript describing the Hawai‘i Climate Data Portal (HCDP) was recently published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. This paper marks six years of collaboration between climate and data scientists in Hawai‘i. It also builds upon the foundations laid by many others who have contributed to climate monitoring, data processing, and product development over the past 30+ years in Hawai‘i. The 11 co-authors on this paper represent four different institutions and consist of a range of early, mid, and senior career researchers, as well as two students. Support for the downscaling product development was provided by Pacific Islands and Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Centers Award #G21AC10110.
More to come from the HCDP. Some things currently in the works are: a tool that anyone can use to create climate portfolios, developing an updated Rainfall Climatology 1990-2019, near-real-time daily rainfall maps, and hourly wind speed and solar radiation maps, and mapping daily rainfall in Guam and American Samoa.
Visit them at the Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference on July 30- August 1 at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center.
