This project seeks to address the challenges faced by climate change impacts researchers in utilizing regional climate model outputs. With limited capacity to handle large binary datasets and the requirement for data in specific formats, software tools need to be developed to facilitate better access to high-resolution gridded datasets. Led by Ian Macadam and supported by partners from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science and other institutions, this initiative aims to improve the usability of climate data for assessing impacts on agriculture, health, and species distributions.
