Climate analysis
Climate analysis is the process of examining historical and current climate data—such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and atmospheric pressure—to identify patterns, trends, variability, and extremes. It involves statistical methods (e.g., calculating means, anomalies, percentiles, or trends over time), spatial analysis (e.g., mapping regional differences or identifying hotspots), and derived metrics (e.g., heat indices, drought indices, or habitability thresholds). By applying these techniques to datasets like ERA5 reanalysis, analysts can detect climate change signals, attribute extreme events, assess risks (e.g., heatwaves, floods), and inform adaptation strategies.
