This is a first draft portfolio provided ahead of the release of Phase 2 data - which is expected for Q1 2026 - and so is subject to change.

An equivalent catalogue page to Climate DT Phase 1 data catalogue will be provided as the data is released.

Parameters forming part of the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin (DT) for Phase 2, stream clte 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
