Dekad Climate Analysis

Rainfall (1981-2019) and temperature (1961-2019) time series reconstructed from station observations and remote sensing proxies. This interface allows users to view rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature climatologies and anomalies.

Dataset Documentation

The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) and partners have been leading an effort to simultaneously improve the availability, access and use of climate information at the national level. This effort, named “Enhancing National Climate Services (ENACTS)”, has already been implemented in a number of countries. The foundation of ENACTS is the creation of quality-controlled, spatially and temporally complete climate data set. This involves organization and quality control of station data, and generating historical time series by combining station observations with satellite and other proxies. This approach has been implemented to generate over 30 years (1981 to 2019) of rainfall and over 50 years (1961-2019) temperature time series at dekadal (10-daily) time scale, over land areas on a 0.05 x 0.05 lat/lon grid (about 4 km of resolution).
