Data and Access

Climate DT simulation data is made available via the DestinE Service Platform. To learn how to access the impact-sector application data, visit Impact Sector Applications.

Note

This guide covers Generation 2 data. More information about the Generation 1 data can be found here.

Prerequisite to access the data

To access Climate DT data, you first need to create an account in the Destination Earth Platform. Once your account is created, you will then need to apply for upgraded access. You can find instructions on how to apply for upgraded access, processing time, terms and conditions, and user access policy.

There are three ways to access Climate DT data on the HEALPix grid:

• Polytope — retrieve data programmatically from any local or HPC environment using a Python client and Jupyter notebooks.

• Insula Code — a browser-based Jupyter environment hosted within the DestinE Platform, with Polytope pre-configured and no local installation required.

• Harmonised Data Access (HDA) — a single API providing access to the full DestinE Data Portfolio, including Climate DT output.

The data structure and request keys are the same across all three methods. See Data Structure and Keys for a full description.
