Package: climada-petals
CLIMADACLIMADA stands forCLIMateADAptation and is a probabilistic natural catastrophe impact model, that also calculates averted damage (benefit) thanks to adaptation measures of any kind (from grey to green infrastructure, behavioural, etc.).As of today, CLIMADA provides global coverage of major climate-related extreme-weather hazards at high resolution via adata API, namely (i) tropical cyclones, (ii) river flood, (iii) agro drought and (iv) European winter storms, all at 4km spatial resolution - wildfire to be added soon. For all hazards, historic and probabilistic event sets exist, for some also under select climate forcing scenarios (RCPs) at distinct time horizons (e.g. 2040). See alsopapersfor details.CLIMADA is divided into two parts (two repositories):the coreclimada_pythoncontains all the modules necessary for the probabilistic impact, the averted damage, uncertainty and forecast calculations. Data for hazard, exposures and impact functions can be obtained from thedata API.Litpopis included as demo Exposures module, andTropical cyclonesis included as a demo Hazard module.the petalsclimada_petalscontains all the modules for generating data (e.g., TC_Surge, WildFire, OpenStreeMap, ...). Most development is done here. The petals builds-upon the core and does not work as a stand-alone.It is recommend for new users to begin with the core (1) and thetutorialstherein.This is the Python (3.8+) version of CLIMADA - please seehttps://github.com/davidnbresch/climadafor backward compatibility (MATLAB).Getting startedCLIMADA runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
The released versions of CLIMADA are available fromconda-forge.

See theinstallation guidefor further information.Follow thetutorialclimada_python-x.y.z/doc/tutorial/1_main_climada.ipynbin a Jupyter Notebook to see what can be done with CLIMADA and how.DocumentationDocumentation is available on Read the Docs:Note that all the documentations has two versions,'latest' and 'stable', and explicit version numbers, such as 'v3.1.1', in the url path. 'latest' is created from the 'develop' branch and has the latest changes by developers, 'stable' from the latest release.
