Package: climada
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 (4x4km) via adata APIFor select hazards, historic and probabilistic events sets, for past, present and future climate exist at distinct time horizons.
You will find a repository containing scientific peer-reviewed articles that explain software components implemented in CLIMADAhere.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 (3.9+) version of CLIMADA - please seeherefor backward compatibility with the MATLAB version.Getting startedCLIMADA runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
The released versions of CLIMADA are available fromconda-forge.
