Climate Suitability Maps for Warm-Region Wine Grapes Across Eight Global Climate Models

A collection of GeoTIFF maps from the DPIRD Climate Vulnerability Assessment project models climate suitability for warm-region wine grapes. The dataset includes maps for overall suitability, individual phenophases, and phenophase-climate variable combinations. Data is provided for eight global climate models, historical observations, and ensemble medians.

Use Cases

• Assess future climate suitability for wine grape production based on modeled phenophase maps.
• Compare projected climate impacts across different global climate model scenarios.
• Identify potential vulnerabilities in viticulture production stages using the multicriteria analysis framework.

Strengths

• Maps are provided in a consistent and comparable way using a multicriteria analysis framework.
• Data includes outputs from eight global climate models plus historical observations and ensemble medians.
• Results are part of a larger, rigorous assessment covering multiple primary industry sectors.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
