This is a first draft portfolio provided ahead of the release of Phase 2 data - which is expected for Q3 2026 - and so is subject to change.
The Extremes DT data catalogue will be updated as the data is released.
Parameters forming part of the Extremes Digital Twin (DT) for Phase 2 are detailed here.
Additional keys
Please note that additional keys are often necessary in addition to the base parameter definition below. For example for:
- statistical processing (e.g. time interval of processing)
- level information (e.g. a given pressure level, say 300 hPa)
Legend:
| Parameter ready and no change from encoding in Phase 1 |
| Parameter ready but changes for encoding in Phase 2 |
