Data and reproducibility materials for auditing climate-signal transfer across mismatched spatial grids
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This repository provides the data, code, metadata, audit products and reproducibility materials supporting a methodological benchmark of climate-signal transfer across mismatched spatial grids. The benchmark compares nearest-neighbour (NN), inverse-distance weighting using four neighbours (IDW4), and bilinear interpolation for transferring NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 climate signals to a fixed 10-arc-minute CLIMEX location framework. The definitive benchmark comprises 45 CLIMEX endpoints: 15 GCM × SSP combinations evaluated with each of the three transfer operators. It includes the harmonised 4,147,335-row endpoint master dataset, pairwise EI and suitable-area comparisons, climatic diagnostics, bilinear-stencil and fallback audits, batch-validation products, processing and analysis scripts, CLIMEX parameter metadata, reproduction instructions, and SHA-256 manifests. The analytical domain contains 92,163 locations across continental North and Central America. Climate forcing comprises five CMIP6 global climate models and SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 for 2081–2100 relative to the historical baseline. Proprietary CLIMEX software, CliMond/CLIMEX climate databases, the raw local CLIMEX species file, and primary NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 NetCDF files are not redistributed. Exact model-parameter metadata, derived analytical products, cryptographic fingerprints and source-data citations are provided instead.
