This week, we will be showcasing our upcoming "Global Wildfire Risk Index" dataset at the Singapore Fintech Festival as a Finalist of the G20 TechSprint 2021 in partnership with Banca d'Italia. The Singapore FinTech Festival 2021, touted as the world's largest fintech festival, took pl showcaseace from November 8 to 12 under the theme "Web […]
A high-resolution Wildfire Risk projections dataset based on the Fire Weather Index is under development. We have now completed the first projection of 1 out of 5 climate models and for one emissions scenario (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 5-8.5 or SSP5-8.5). The other 4 models and second scenario (SSP1-2.6) are under way. The full high-resolution wildfire […]
CLImate INTelligence (CLINT) is a new EU funded four-year international research project conducted in collaboration with 15 partners including academic institutions, national weather services and ECMWF. CLINT aims to create an Artificial Intelligence framework employing Machine Learning techniques to analyze extensive climate datasets, thereby enhancing Climate Science capabilities in detecting, understanding, and attributing Extreme Events […]
We have now new high-resolution CMIP6 projections based on simulations supporting the recent IPCC report released in August (see AR6 Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis). This was made possible thanks to the newly released ERA5-Land global reanalysis from Copernicus Climate Change Service. The dataset is obtained by statistically downscaling climate projections from the […]
