Climate DT high resolution hourly data on single-level or surface, ICON, Historical, timeseries

This dataset contains surface variables from the second generation Climate Adaptation Digital Twin of the Destination Earth initiative. It includes data from the Historical Run (1990–2014) of the ICON model. This data was regridded from the original HEALPix H1024 grid to a regular latitude-longitude grid at approximately 0.044° resolution. The temporal resolution is 1 hour.

The dataset's chunking is optimized for regional timeseries analisys.

Access is restricted to Destination Earth users with Upgraded Access.
