CLIMAAX CRA Handbook v2025.08.1

  • Update DROUGHTS workflows:
    • 💡 Users are advised to rerun the hazard and risk assessment for the agricultural drought after updating. Downloaded CORDEX data can be reused but all calculations have to be rerun.
    • 02 Agricultural drought: complete refactoring of the yield loss calculation in the hazard notebook, including fixes to the calculation of Tmean, the estimation of ET0 and the handling of growing periods (CLIMAAX/DROUGHTS#19). ⚠️ All users should consider yield losses produced by the workflow before this change as incorrect.
    • 02 Agricultural drought: updated exposure and vulnerability datasets to more recent versions: SPAM from 2010v2 to 2020v2, GAEZ from v4 to v5 (CLIMAAX/DROUGHTS#17).
    • 02 Agricultural drought: fix for the loading of SPAM files in the risk assessment (CLIMAAX/DROUGHTS#20). ⚠️ It was possible that data was assigned to the wrong crops before this fix.
    • 02 Agricultural drought: remove automatic chunking to avoid failure for data from NCC-NorESM1-M SMHI-RCA4 model combination.
  • Update STORMS workflows:
    • 💡 Users are advised to rerun the risk assessment for the windstorms workflow and adjust the provided damage parameters to their area of interest. Hazard data can be reused.
    • 01 Windstorm: fix inconsistency between reported damages in the risk assessment notebook and csv outputs. ⚠️ After this fix, damages as reported in the notebook are larger by a factor of 1,000,000 (CLIMAAX/STORMS#7).
    • 01 Windstorm: scale damage curve into range 0 to 1 to match input requirements of damagescanner package in the risk assessment. ⚠️ After this fix, all damages are smaller by a factor of 100 (CLIMAAX/STORMS#8).
    • 01 Windstorm: Adjust built-up area density in farmland areas from 0.07 to 0.0015 in the provided LUISA_damage_info_curves table. This reduces damages estimated for the affected land use categories.
  • Update FLOODS workflows:
    • 01 River floods: update link to vulnerability curves page.
  • Update FIRE workflows:
    • 01 Wildfire (ML approach): avoid type error when applying corine_to_fuel_type.
    • 01 Wildfire (ML approach): use a dynamic model name in future data URLS for CHELSA (CLIMAAX/FIRE#15).
    • 01 Wildfire (ML approach): unify additional data requirements in workflow description.
    • 01 Wildfire (ML approach): use rioxarray instead of the gdalwarp CLI for reprojection.
  • Update HEATWAVES workflows:
    • 01 Urban heatwaves: download all time intervals for maximum temperature in the historical period in the xclim notebook.
  • Added entries for GAEZ v5 and SPAM 2020 to exposure dataset tables.
  • Updated link to known issues for CORDEX climate projection datasets.
  • Redesigned footer.
