To optimise storage, in this dataset, gridded data are generally provided at their original high temporal resolution (typically hourly), and temporal aggregation is applied primarily to spatially aggregated datasets (e.g., at administrative unit level). Users may perform additional custom aggregation on gridded outputs as needed.

Temporal Frequencies Supported

• Daily

• Monthly

• Seasonal (e.g., DJF, MAM, JJA, SON)

• Annual

Input Data

• Time series of gridded indicators (NetCDF format)

• Time series of spatially aggregated indicators (CSV format)

• Temporal resolution: typically hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on the indicator

Output Data

Temporally aggregated datasets are provided in two formats:

• Gridded data retain their original spatial resolution and are typically distributed at hourly (or sub-daily) resolution in NetCDF format. Users can apply custom aggregation as needed.

• Spatially aggregated data are delivered as CSV files for administrative units (ADM0 and ADM1). Each row includes:

  • Region identifier (e.g., ISO code)

  • Timestamp (e.g., YYYY-MM, YYYY)

  • Aggregated values for each indicator

Exceptions for some Energy Indicators

Forhydropower indicators, a tailored aggregation strategy is adopted due to the nature of their original resolution and data structure:
