Global 2050 Aedes albopictus suitability for dengue transmission (30 arc seconds), RCP 2-4.5, HadGEM3-GC31-LL. The dataset was authored by Ryan, Sadie and last updated on 2026-07-01. It is hosted by the organization DEN_CMIP6 on the Dataverse platform.
Use Cases
- Modeling future dengue transmission risk based on projected mosquito habitat suitability.
- Assessing climate change impacts on vector-borne disease spread based on the RCP 2-4.5 scenario.
- Planning public health interventions based on projected geographic suitability for Aedes albopictus.
- Validating species distribution models for disease vectors based on climate model outputs.
Strengths
- Projection is for a specific future year (2050) and a defined climate scenario (RCP 2-4.5).
- Data has a global spatial scope, providing a worldwide perspective.
- Model output is associated with a specific climate model (HadGEM3-GC31-LL).
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
