Klimaatmodellen:
● IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas — official IPCC map viewer for observed and projected
climate change, with flexible spatial and temporal analysis of the datasets behind AR6.
● Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas — interactive atlas from Copernicus/ECMWF for
exploring past climate, projections, regions, seasons, and variables from multiple
datasets.
● KNMI Climate Explorer / Climate Change Atlas — research-grade atlas with selectable
regions and climate datasets, including CMIP6 and AR6-style atlas options. It is more
technical, but very useful if you want to inspect gridded climate changes by country, box,
or region.
● NASA NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 Dashboard — interactive dashboard for downscaled CMIP6
climate projections. The underlying NASA dataset provides global daily, bias-corrected
projections at about 0.25° / 25 km resolution.
Data gebruikt voor Qgis mappen:
The project maps the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) across four thematic
maps covering AMOC transport strength, sea surface temperature, sea level, and (planned)
terrestrial temperature. All maps use a consistent temporal animation from 2004 to 2100,
transitioning from observed data through linear projections into CMIP6 scenario-based futures.
Observed Datasets (2004–2023)
AMOC Observed Transport — amoc_timeseries_qgis.csv
Source: RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS 26°N array — rapid.ac.uk
Variable: amoc_smooth — smoothed AMOC transport in Sverdrups (Sv)
Coverage: 2004–2023, daily resolution smoothed to annual means
Location: Single point at 26.5°N, 40°W
This is the foundational observational dataset of the entire project. The RAPID array is the only
continuous direct measurement system for AMOC in existence, a cross-Atlantic array of
moorings, pressure sensors, and cable measurements. The smoothed field removes tidal and
synoptic variability to show the interannual signal, ranging from approximately 10.5 to 21.6 Sv
over the record. There is a statistically significant downward trend of approximately 0.3 Sv per
decade, consistent with CMIP6 projections.
Correlations: Directly correlated with SST patterns, weaker AMOC means warm water
accumulates in the subtropical Atlantic. Inversely correlated with US East Coast sea level,
weaker AMOC reduces the southward sea surface slope.
Influences embedded: The RAPID data integrates all forcing factors, wind stress, buoyancy
forcing, Greenland meltwater, and thermohaline changes. No separation of individual drivers is
performed; this represents the net observed AMOC response.
