What does the data show? This data shows the annual number of 10mm rainfall days (days where rainfall is equal to or greater than 10mm) averaged over the 1991-2020 period. The data is from the HadUK-Grid v.1.1.0.0 dataset and is provided on the 2km British National Grid (BNG).   What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data? This data contains a field for the average over the period, named ‘Rainfall 10mm Days’.   To understand how to explore the data, see this page: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/457e7a2bc73e40b089fac0e47c63a578   Data source HadUK-Grid v1.1.0.0 (downloaded 11/03/2022)   Useful links Further information on HadUK-Grid Further information on understanding climate data within the Met Office Climate Data Portal  

What does the data show? The data shows monthly averages of rainfall amount (mm) for 1991-2020 from HadUK gridded data. It is provided on a 2km British National Grid (BNG). What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data? This data contains a field for each month’s average over the period. They are named 'pr' (precipitation) and the month. E.g. 'pr March' is the average rainfall amount for March in the period 1991-2020.

What does the data show? The data shows monthly averages of surface temperature (°C) for 1991-2020 from HadUK gridded data. It is provided on a 2km British National Grid (BNG).   What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data? This data contains a field for each month’s average over the period. They are named 'tas' (temperature at surface) and the month. E.g. 'tas March' is the average surface temperature for March in the period 1991-2020.   To understand how to explore the data, see this page: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/457e7a2bc73e40b089fac0e47c63a578 Please note, if viewing in ArcGIS Map Viewer, the map will default to ‘tas January’ values.   Data source:  HadUK-Grid v1.1.0.0 (downloaded 11/03/2022)   Useful links Further information on HadUK-Grid Further information on understanding climate data within the Met Office Climate Data Portal

What does the data show? Population from the UK Climate Resilience Programme UK-SSPs project. The data is available for the end of each decade. Provided on a 2km Transverse Mercator Grid (prj4string: “+proj=tmerc +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-2 +k=0.9996012717 +x_0=400000 +y_0=-100000 +a=6377563.396 +rf=299.324975315035 +units=m +no_defs”). The source data was originally at a 1km resolution, but for usability it has been converted to 2km resolution.  This dataset contains SSP1, SSP2, SSP3, SSP4 and SSP5. For more information see the table below. Indicator Population Metric Population Unit Headcount Spatial Resolution 2km grid (sourced from 1km grid) Temporal Resolution Decadal Sectoral Categories N/A Baseline Data Source ONS 2019; LCM 2015, Worldpop 2020 Projection Trend Source IIASA; UK SSP urbanisation   What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data? This data contains a field for each SSP scenario and the year at the end of each decade. For example, 'SSP1_2040' is the projection for 2040 in the SSP1 scenario. There are a small number of features in this data with much higher population values than the majority of features. This can skew the styling, and so if you want to emphasise areas of high density population you may wish to adjust the style settings to account for this.

What are Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)? The global SSPs, used in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments, are five different storylines of future socioeconomic circumstances, explaining how the global economy and society might evolve over the next 80 years. Crucially, the global SSPs are independent of climate change and climate change policy, i.e. they do not consider the potential impact climate change has on societal and economic choices. Instead, they are designed to be coupled with a set of future climate scenarios, the Representative Concentration Pathways or ‘RCPs’. When combined together within climate research (in any number of ways), the SSPs and RCPs can tell us how feasible it would be to achieve different levels of climate change mitigation, and what challenges to climate change mitigation and adaptation might exist. Until recently, UK-specific versions of the global SSPs were not available to combine with the RCP-based climate projections. The aim of the UK-SSPs project was to fill this gap by developing a set of socioeconomic scenarios for the UK that is consistent with the global SSPs used by the IPCC community, and which will provide the basis for further UK research on climate risk and resilience.
