Climate DT, ScenarioMIP, SSP3-7.0, ICON, hourly data on single-levels

This dataset contains a selection of surface and single level fields derived from the DestinE Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin according to the output of the ICON model coupled with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway SSP3-7.0) as defined in the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (activity: ScenarioMIP). Fields are regridded from the original HEALPix grid to a regular latitude-longitude grid and distributed with 0.044° spatial resolution and hourly temporal resolution. The chunking is optimised for time based and regional analysis.

Access to restricted datasets is available according to the DestinE Access policy

How to download the data

The default (and preferred) way to access the data requires accessing the api.earthdatahub.destine.eu domain and a valid API key.

Method 1: quick access

It is possible to include the token directly in the URL.
