Projections CSV

Climate projection data for future scenario analysis.

File Naming

<Catchment>_Projections.csv

Example: Au Saumon_Projections.csv

Format

Standard CSV with header row. Contains multiple ensemble members, scenarios, and time horizons.

Required Columns

Column Description Units/Values
date Projection date YYYY-MM-DD
precipitation Daily precipitation mm/day
temperature Mean daily temperature °C
member Ensemble member number integer
scenario Climate scenario e.g., REF, RCP45, RCP85
model Climate model name e.g., CSI, CRCM5
horizon Time horizon e.g., REF, 2050, 2080

Example

date,precipitation,temperature,member,scenario,model,horizon
1968-01-02,1.047,-4.488,10,REF,CSI,REF
1968-01-03,2.061,-5.056,10,REF,CSI,REF
1968-01-04,1.416,-14.492,10,REF,CSI,REF
1968-01-05,0.352,-15.485,10,REF,CSI,REF

Notes

  • The REF scenario/horizon typically represents the reference (historical) period
  • Multiple ensemble members allow uncertainty quantification
  • The projection page filters data by model, scenario, and horizon selections
  • PET is calculated internally using the Oudin method from temperature and latitude
