Data downloads
Probable Futures climate data is available for download.
To download the data, first sign up for Probable Futures Pro. Then, go to the “Datasets” tab in Probable Futures Pro to browse downloadable data for all maps. The data is available to download in CSV, GeoJSON, and NetCDF formats.
Explanation of Fields in Downloaded Data Files
By default, the downloaded file will include all locations in the world. Each location includes the latitude and longitude coorindates for the center of each grid cell, the grid cell perimeter coordinates, and the three values (low, mid, high) for each of the six warming scenarios.
Each of these individual data fields are described below.
| Column | Description | Example data (days above 32°C map) |
|---|---|---|
| longitude | The longitude coordinate at the center of the grid cell. | -111.82° |
| latitude | The latitude coordinate at the center of the grid cell. | 33.21° |
| cell | The grid cell coordinates, corresponding to a 0.2° latitude by 0.2° longitude square section of the Earth’s surface. | [[-111.9,33.3],[-111.9,33.1],[-111.7,33.1],[-111.7,33.3],[-111.9,33.3]] |
