Hosted datasets

The indices offered through Climdex have been already calculated for several observational datasets. For station-based datasets we host, indices are available for any or all selected stations. For reanalysis datasets, indices are available globally-averaged, regionally-averaged or for individual grid cells.

Use the Explore links to access our hosted indices. Please remember to make appropriate reference to the linked publications when using these datasets.
