Description
Paula Sosa-Guillén and four co-authors publish a fine-grained climate dataset for the Canary Islands, in a 2024 paper. The archipelago packs mountains, coasts, and many endemic species into small areas, so climate change will bite unevenly. Coarse global models smooth away exactly the local detail conservation needs.
The team ran a regional weather model at three-kilometer resolution, steered by three global models. Three time windows, past, mid-century, and late century, were run under two emission paths. From temperature, rain, sun, humidity, and wind they derived fifty-three bioclimatic indicators, the measures species actually respond to. The open dataset gives island planners and ecologists a shared, detailed picture of the climates their species will face.
