Description
Parvaneh Nowbakht and nine co-authors describe a new climate data set for Ireland in a 2026 paper. Bioclimatic measures, such as seasonal heat and rain patterns, guide work in ecology, planning, and land management. Global data sets are too coarse to capture Ireland's local variation, so the team built a country specific set at about one kilometer detail.
Past climate layers came from checked national weather station records. Future layers came from about two hundred regional climate model runs, summed up as low, middle, and high outcomes under three emission paths and several time periods. The data are shared as map files for regional analysis. The design lets users weigh uncertainty rather than rely on a single forecast.
