Week 03 (W48 Nov30) Global Climate Dataset

Week 03 (W48 Nov30) Global Climate Dataset

1 - Summary

2 - Dataset Stats

Global Climate Data (GCD) : Main Dataset

• Number of files: 100.791
• Format: .dly files (Complete Works Wordprocessing Template)
• Size: 26.5 GB
• Features: 46
• Source Date: 1763 - 2015

World Bank (WB) : Complementary Dataset

• Number of files: 1
• Format: .csv
• Size: ~15 MB
• Features: 82
• Source Date: 1960 - 2015

3 - Goals Achieved This Week

• Merged the datasets GCD and WB from 1960 to 2015

4 - Merging of Datasets

We extracted the data of the 5 core features of the GCD dataset for the 7 biggest cities of India. 43.87% (GCD) + 49.19% (WB) This visualization will comfortably accommodate up to 50 labelled variables. Past that range labels begin to overlap or become unreadable, and by default large displays omit them.

8 - Next Week Goals

• Correlate data from the two datasets
• Apply interpolation to missing values
• Extend PCA, spectrum analysis
