Description

This dataset contains high-resolution climate and heat stress information for present (2011-2020) and future (up to 2100) at 30m resolution for the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan area. Furthermore, one particular heatwave was modelled at 1m spatial resolution (see below).

The modelling was executed using the UrbClim (De Ridder et al., 2015) & HiREx model (Souverijns et al., 2023; open-access via this link).

Details on the approach applied & resulting maps can be found in this report & this website. A brief description of the datasets is offered below.

Images_30m.zip

This contains an overview of 20 heat stress indicators calculated for the full Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan area at 30m resolution for each decade and three future scenarios. A readme_indicators.txt file is present in the zip file with a description of the indicators, file name structure, time periods and scenarios.

Berlin_heatstress_max.jpeg & Berlin_heatstress_mean.jpeg

These two images are modelling outputs at 1m spatial resolution for the Berlin city center, showcasing heat stress (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) for a hot day in the summer of 2019 (25-07-2019) with red highlighting the highest heat stress, and blue the lowest.

The mean image shows the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature averaged over 24h (including the night) and is visualised between 21 (lower limit = blue) & 25 (upper limit = red).

The max image shows the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature at 15h in the afternoon (highest heat stress) and is visualised between 24 (lower limit = blue) & 30.5 (upper limit = red).

Geotiffs for all indicators can be obtained upon request: niels.souverijns@vito.be
