NEX-HIDCP-CMIP6: Hawai'i Downscaled Daily Climate Projections

High-resolution daily downscaled CMIP6 climate projections over Hawai'i for maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and precipitation. The dataset is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center and complements downscaled projections for the contiguous United States. Data is available via Amazon S3 with no stated restrictions on use.

Use Cases

• Project future temperature extremes in Hawai'i based on daily maximum and minimum temperature data.
• Model changes in precipitation patterns for Hawai'i based on daily precipitation projections.
• Assess regional climate change impacts on Hawai'i's ecosystems using high-resolution downscaled variables.
• Compare climate projections for Hawai'i with continental U.S. projections mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Projections are downscaled to high resolution specifically for Hawai'i.
• Includes three key climate variables: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and precipitation.
• Data originates from the authoritative NASA Ames Research Center.
• No restrictions on data use are stated.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
