Climpact / Climpact2

A software package for calculating internationally recognized climate extremes indices from historical climate datasets.

Supports assessment of climate extremes, hazard characterization, and climate change impacts relevant to heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and drought.

Link To DSS: https://climpact-sci.org/
Developer: Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI)
Stage Of Maturity: Mature

Strengths

  • Internationally standardized methodology
  • Supports climate reporting
  • Widely recognized by climate science community

Weaknesses

  • Requires technical expertise
  • Not a web-based DSS
  • No built-in visualization platform

Synergies

  • Uses observational climate datasets managed through Climsoft/CDMS, DataEx, and other national climate data systems.
  • Complements climate diagnostics from KNMI Climate Explorer and NOAA Climate Composites.
  • Produces standardized climate extremes indices that can support Climate Impact Explorer, CLIM-PLANNeD, and national climate risk assessments.
  • Can provide heat, rainfall, drought, and extreme-event indicators for sectoral DSSs such as Agromet DSSs, CRISH, SMART, and SATARK.
  • Supports validation and analysis of climate model outputs from CORDEX South Asia and Copernicus CDS.
