Climate Apps

Climate Impact Snapshot App

Climate change impacts vary significantly throughout India, reflecting the country’s diverse climate, topography, and ecology. This app is a great starting point if you want to get a quick overview of climate impacts in your region. The Climate Impact Snapshot App provides climate projections for temperature and precipitation using CMIP6. The app is designed to be straightforward and accessible for most users.

Drought Monitor App

The Drought Monitoring App offers an advanced platform for tracking and analyzing drought conditions by presenting critical indicators: SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), and SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index) and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). While SPI and SPEI are key drought indices that assess precipitation and climate-driven drought severity, NDVI provides valuable insight into vegetation health and the potential impact of drought on ecosystems. Together, these metrics give users a comprehensive view of drought severity, vegetation response, water resources, and climate dynamics.

Incline Watershed Delineation App

The Incline Watershed Delineation Tool provides a seamless way to explore and utilize watershed data for regions across India. This tool allows users to:

• Accurately delineate watersheds using high-quality, peer-reviewed data from the world’s scientific and research communities.
• Leverage datasets from MERIT-Hydro and MERIT-Basins for precise watershed delineation.
• Visualize watershed boundaries with user-friendly tools, and download the data in various formats including GeoPackage, KML, and shapefile.

Extreme Indices App

The Extreme Indices App is designed to help users explore and analyze extreme climate indices defined by ETCCDI in an intuitive way. The app allows users to visualize time series trends for precipitation and temperature indices, such as maximum rainfall (Rx1day, Rx5day) and temperature extremes (TX90p, TN10p) and more. Additionally, it provides functionality to calculate these indices y uploading your datasets, making it a practical tool for understanding climate variability. By offering an accessible interface with scientifically robust features, the app empowers users to analyze and interpret climate extremes with ease.
