Projections for changes in temperature and precipitation were derived from the LOCA downscaled climate model<\/a> ensembles processed by NOAA at around 6.5-km resolution. The U.S. LOCA data is an ensemble of 32 different models specifically tailored to the United States climate and optimally weighted to best match historic climate observation. While WorldClim data focus on temperature and precipitation averages and totals, this LOCA data instead focuses on 47 \u201cdecision-ready\u201d variables. These variables are more like thresholds that explore climate exposure and extreme events. The include, for example, annual estimates of days with temperatures exceeding 90\/95\/100 \u00b0F, maximum 1-day precipitation, consecutive dry days, and cooling degree days.<\/p>\n The U.S. Climate (LOCA) data is available for the moderate (RCP 4.5) and very high (RCP 8.5) emissions scenarios and for early (2030), mid (2050), and late-century (2085) timeframes. These future climate predictions may be compared against the historic (1976-2005) baseline values for the same variables.<\/p>\n Both climate datasets are great, but each is specifically suited to different use cases. When deciding which dataset to use, ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n For most analysis in the U.S., LOCA data should be used. LOCA data has been specifically optimized to historic U.S. climate conditions, so it is more accurate than WorldClim for within the United States. LOCA data, however, does not cover anywhere outside of the latitudinal bounds of the contiguous U.S. (LOCA includes some bordering areas of Canada and Mexico), so for non-US modeling or modeling within Hawaii or Alaska, WorldClim data must be used and is still highly accurate given that WorldClim data is based on just-released CMIP6 models.<\/p>\n LOCA and WorldClim variables differ significantly. WorldClim variables focus on temperature and precipitation averages and totals, so this is ideal for bioclimatic assessments and suitability modeling \u2013 anything that relies on a complete picture of climatic conditions. For example, the USGS has specifically used these 19 bioclimatic variables for studying the suitable conditions for species physiology<\/a>.<\/p>\n LOCA data, on the other hand, focuses on number of days beyond certain thresholds (annual days over 90 \u00b0F, consecutive wet days, last freeze day). The focus of LOCA is therefore to support decision-making related to climate exposure for things like extreme heat, prolonged drought, etc. The decision-ready nature of the LOCA data means it is geared less toward species suitability and more toward policy, climate resilience, and adaptation.<\/p>\n Both the WorldClim and LOCA datasets come as multidimensional rasters. Working with multidimensional datasets may be intimidating at first, but once you know how to use the proper multidimensional tools, it becomes much less daunting.<\/p>\n Multidimensional climate data consists of different dimensions of variables, years, and emissions scenarios. For WorldClim data, each layer is a different variable and within each layer, the dimensions are emissions scenario and year. For LOCA, there are separate layers for each year range and emissions scenario, and the dimensions within the data are the 47 different variables.<\/p>\n To quickly view and compare differences in climate between decades and emissions scenarios, you can open the WorldClim<\/a> or LOCA<\/a> data within ArcGIS Online in Map Viewer Classic. Within your layer of interest, select the multidimensional filter from the drop down menu. The filter gives you the ability to select the emissions scenario and a year or date range.
