Interested in exploring meteorological and climate patterns by yourself? Here are some global and regional datasets to get you started.
ERA5
ReanalysisERA5 provides hourly and monthly estimates for a wide range of atmospheric, land, and oceanic climate variables, with global coverage at 31 km resolution from 1940 to present.
CMIP
Model IntercomparisonThe Coupled Model Intercomparison Project brings together climate models from centres worldwide to compare results and improve understanding of past and future climate changes from natural and human influences.
CORDEX
Regional DownscalingCORDEX coordinates regional climate downscaling from reanalyses and CMIPs, covering Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas, Europe, and nearby oceans.
WorldClim
ObservationalWorldClim is a high-resolution global weather and climate dataset that provides monthly temperature and precipitation data for different periods.
Copernicus CDS
Data ServiceThe Climate Data Store provides access to a wide range of quality-assured climate datasets, tools, and documentation from the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Software & tools
Some useful tools and libraries to assist with your research and coding tasks.
vim-ipython-cell
Open SourceA Vim/Neovim plugin that allows you to run Python code in the IPython interactive terminal shell — great for scientific computing workflows.
netCDF4-python
PythonA Python interface to the netCDF C library. Essential for reading and writing climate and Earth science data in the widely used NetCDF format.
xarray
PythonMakes working with labelled multi-dimensional arrays in Python simple, efficient, and fun. A core tool for climate data analysis.
Iris
PythonA powerful, format-agnostic Python library for analysing and visualising meteorological and oceanographic data sets.
