A large ensemble of CMIP6-based transient climate scenarios for impact assessment in Great Britain.

<p>Climate change impact assessments often require a large ensemble of local-scale transient climate scenarios. Each ensemble member represents plausible long weather series at a local scale. The climate projections from Global Climate Models (GCMs) are difficult to use at local scale due to their coarse spatial and temporal resolution. Moreover, very few projections are usually available for each GCM due to a high computational cost. An alternative approach involves employing a stochastic weather generator to produce a large number of transient scenarios based on the climate projections from GCMs. In a current dataset, transient climate scenarios were generated using the LARS-WG weather generator, based on climate projections from &nbsp;GCMs from the CMIP6 ensemble across 26 representative sites throughout the UK. Each transient scenario spans the period from 2020 to 2090.&nbsp; At each site, 100 transient scenarios were generated for two emission scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) and five selected GCMs from CMIP6 (ACCESS-ESM1-5, CNRM-CM6-1, HadGEM3-GC31-LL, MPI-ESM1-2-LR, and MRI-ESM2-0). The choice of GCMs were&nbsp; based on their performance over northern Europe and their climate sensitivity. The use of a subset of GCMs substantially reduces computational time required for impact assessment, while allowing to quantify uncertainties in impacts related to uncertain future climate. The dataset can be used with impact models in various fields, including, land and water resources, agriculture and food production, ecology and epidemiology, and human health and welfare, when undertaking impact assessment of climate change and decision support for mitigation and adaptation.</p>

CMIP6-based local-scale climate scenarios for impact assessment in Great Britain.

<p>Climate change impact assessments require local-scale climate scenarios. The climate change projections from <span>Global Climate Models (GCMs) </span>are difficult to use at local scale due to their <span>coarse spatial and temporal resolution. </span><span>It is important to have climate change scenarios based on GCMs climate projections GCMs ensembles, e.g. CMIP6, downscaled to local scale to account for their inherent uncertainty, and to generate a sufficient large number of </span>realisations <span>to account for inter-annual climate variability and low frequency but high impact extreme climatic events. A</span><span> <span>dataset of future climate change scenarios was therefore generated at </span></span><span>26 representative sites across the UK</span><span> based on the latest </span><span>CMIP6 multi-model ensemble </span><span>downscaled to local-scale by using a </span><span>stochastic weather generator LARS-WG 7.0. The data set provides </span><span>1,000 years of daily weather at each selected site for a baseline (1985-2015), and very near- (2030) and near-future (2050) climate change scenarios, based on five GCMs and two emission scenarios (</span><span>Shared Socioeconomic Pathways - SSPs <em>viz</em>. </span>SSP2-4.5 and <span>SSP5-8.5)</span><span>.</span><span> </span><span>A total of </span>15 GCMs from the CMIP6 ensemble were integrated in LARS-WG 7.0. <span>LARS-WG downscales future climate projections from the GCMs and incorporates changes at local scale in the mean climate, climatic variability, and extreme events by modifying the statistical distributions of the weather variables at each site. </span>Based on the performance of the GCMs over northern Europe and their climate sensitivity, a subset of five GCMs was selected, <em>viz</em>.; ACCESS-ESM1-5, CNRM-CM6-1, HadGEM3-GC31-LL, MPI-ESM1-2-LR and MRI-ESM2-0. The selected GCMs are evenly distributed among the full set of 15 GCMs. The use of a subset of GCMs substantially reduces computational time, while allowing assessment of uncertainties in impact studies related to uncertain future climate projections arising from GCMs.<span> <span>The 1000 years of </span></span>realisations <span>of daily weather for the baseline as well as future climate change scenarios are helpful for estimating </span>seasonality and<span> inter-annual variation, and for detecting short, </span>low frequency but high impact extreme climatic signals, such as heat waves, floods and drought events. The dataset <span>can be used as an input to climate change impact models in various fields, including, </span><span>land and water resources, agriculture and food production, </span>ecology and epidemiology, and <span>human health and welfare. Researchers, breeders, farm and programme managers, social and public sector leaders, and policymakers may benefit from this new dataset when undertaking impact assessment of climate change and decision support for mitigation and adaptation.</span></p>

Predicted occurrence probability for ticks in Great Britain (2014 to 2021) at 1 km spatial resolution

<p>The dataset contains predictions of occurrence probability for ticks in Great Britain (2014 to 2021) at 1 km spatial resolution + all covariate layers used for modeling. Over seven million electronic health records (EHRs), among which 11,741 EHRs reported tick attachment, were used to evaluate climate, environmental and animal host factors affecting the risk of tick attachment in cats and dogs in Great Britain (GB). The tick presence/absence EHRs for dogs and cats were further overlaid with spatiotemporal time-series of climatic, vegetation, human influence, hydrological and terrain variables (slope, wetness index) to produce a spatiotemporal regression matrix; an Ensemble Machine Learning framework was used to fine-tune hyperparameters for Random Forest (classif.ranger), Gradient boosting (classif.xgboost) and GLM-net (classif.glmnet) algorithms, which were then used to produce a final ensemble meta-learner that predicts the probability of occurrence of ticks across GB with monthly intervals.</p> <ul> <li>gb1km_covariates.zip contains ALL covariate layers as GeoTIFFs (time-series) used for modeling ticks dynamics;</li> <li>data_1km_2014_M01.rds = contains all covariates for January 2014 prepared as SpatialGridDataFrame (R data object);</li> </ul> <p>Codes of files indicate e.g.:</p> <ul> <li>&quot;monthly.tick.prob_savsnet.mar_p_1km_s_2014_2021&quot; = monthly occurrence probability for January based on the training data from 2014 to 2021;</li> <li>&quot;monthly.tick.prob_savsnet.oct_md_1km_s_20211001_20211031&quot; = monthly prediction (model) error derived as the standard deviation from multiple base learners;</li> </ul> <p>The dataset is described in detail in the following publication:</p> <ul> <li>Arsevska, E., Hengl, T., Singelton, D. et al.

Respectable Standards of Living: The Alternative Lens of Maintenance Costs, Britain 1270-1860

<p>Data set and code book.&nbsp; Replication materials for paper accepted in Economic History Review, April 2024.</p> <p>Abstract&nbsp;</p> <p><span>This paper argues that in all societies there is considerable agreement about what goods and services are needed to provide a decent living, and that this standard can be measured by the expense involved in maintaining people of good standing.<span>&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;</span>Maintenance costs include two components of living costs that are neglected in conventional approaches.<span>&nbsp; </span>First, in contrast to the usual focus on a fixed basket of commodities, maintenance costs capture changes in the composition and quality of the goods required for a respectable lifestyle.<span>&nbsp; </span>Second, unlike the conventional accounting they include the costs of the household services required to turn the basket commodities into livings. Ignored in the conventional methodology, the inclusion of these costs represents a core innovation. More than 4600 observations, drawn mainly from primary sources, trace levels and trends in maintenance costs for Britain, 1270-1860. <span>&nbsp;</span>These can be compared with established cost of living indicators to offer a complementary perspective on real consumption that accommodates aspirational goods and the input of household labour.<span>&nbsp; </span>The struggle to support families at respectable standards emerges as driving industriousness and motivating prudence among a class that played a major role in economic development.<span>&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Great Britain's primary substation service areas and annual domestic energy statistics

<p>This&nbsp;geospatial data is a combination of Great Britain's 4436 primary&nbsp;substation service areas which have been parsed into a single shapefile for energy systems analysis. The original component datasets were provided by the six distribution network operator (DNO) companies in Great Britain (National Grid Electricity Distribution, Electricity North West Ltd, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, UK Power Networks, Scottish Power Energy Networks and Northern Power Grid). Attribution is given to the original data owners at each of these six DNOs and the resulting dataset from this work has been created and published under an open licence with each DNO's permission.&nbsp;</p><p>The data is available to download as two geojson files in the&nbsp;WGS84 coordinate system. One is a streamlined version which just contains the polygons along with a unique primary identifier (UPID), primary substation name, DNO&nbsp;licence area and local authority. The other contains the polygons along with richer energy data which was aggregated to the primary substation level from publicly available Department for Energy Security and Net Zero,&nbsp;Office for National Statistics and National Grid ESO datasets. This&nbsp;data is also available to download in tabular form as a csv file.&nbsp;The meter numbers and consumption values are the means of those reported from 2015-2020. The substation polygons were those as received or publicly available as of the time period of this study (2021-22).</p><p>The pre-print manuscript of the methodology used to create this dataset can be found on arXiv at:</p><p>https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2311.03324</p><p>Funding to support this work was received&nbsp;from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/W008726/1) under the Gas Net New project and the Alan Turing Institute's Science of Cities and Regions Programme.

Great Britain (GB) Domestic Electricity Usage by Low Carbon Technology by Season

<p><strong>Important</strong>: As an research not-for-profit organisation, if you found this dataset useful we would appreciate your time in filling out <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqCAoQt4AzuGH8Th5tJjnkGP956Fgc6O8T6wJaM7Nhd_nRdg/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.1276408097=10.5281/zenodo.6576108">this short survey</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This dataset contains 3 aggregate datasets from the electricity smart meter data of over 25,000 customers in Great Britain (GB) from March 2021&nbsp;- March 2022.</p> <p>For each consumer, we know (via a survey) what low carbon technologies (LCTs) they own. The potential LCT options are: Solar PV, Heat Pump (Air Source, or Ground Source), Electric Vehicle, Battery, Electric Storage Heaters.</p> <p>For simplicity, this dataset contains only customers with one type of LCT (with the exception of Solar PV, where we include Solar PV + Battery customers as is common in GB). We do not include customers with multiple LCTs (for example home battery + EV)</p> <p>We include quantiles of usage for each half hour (the &quot;profile&quot;) for each type of LCT ownership &quot;archetype&quot;, both overall (when season=None) and by season. As is common in the literature, we normalise by the square meterage of the house using open EPC data in GB (https://epc.opendatacommunities.org/) to get the watt hours per square meter. You can also find the raw, unnormalised, kwh values by quantile in this release. These two datasets have the quantiles for each half hour period. In addition, we release the daily quantiles of electricity consumption, in kwh per square meterage, by LCT type.</p> <p>In summary the data we are releasing, aggregated over 25,000 customers over 1 year of usage from March 2021 - March 2020 is:</p> <ul> <li>daily_elec_consumption_quantiles_by_lct_ownership.csv - The daily quantiles of usage [kWh/m2] by LCT</li> <li>lct_elec_consumption_profiles.csv - The half hourly quantiles of usage [Wh/m2] by LCT by season</li> <li>lct_elec_consumption_profiles_kwh.csv - The half hourly quantiles of usage [kWh] by LCT by season</li> </ul> <p>We believe this data will be useful for modelling efforts, as customers with different types of LCTs use energy at different times of the day, and by different amounts daily. By releasing this data openly, we hope forecasting scenarios for the future energy system are more accurate. We have a supporting blog post on our website at https://www.centrefornetzero.org/res/lessons-from-early-adopters-electricity-consumption-profiles/.</p>

Britain Breathing 2016-2019 Air Quality and Meteorological Regional Estimates Dataset

<p>This data set is a collection of estimated daily mean and maximum values for a range of air quality and meterological measurements and model forecasts for the <em>UK and crown dependencies</em> postcode districts (e.g. &#39;AB&#39;) for the years 2016-2019, inclusive.</p> <p>The paper describing this dataset is available here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01135-6">https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01135-6</a></p> <p>The data uses a &#39;concentric regions&#39;&nbsp;method to estimate the measurement for all regions, as follows. If measurements exist within the region, the mean of those measurements is used, if not, then a ring of neighbouring postcode regions are selected, and the mean of their measurement values used. If no measurement sites/data are found in the first ring, the process continues, taking the next&nbsp;ring of postcode district regions, working outwards until one or more sensors are found in a ring.&nbsp; As well as the measurement estimations, the number of rings required to find site data and make the estimations is also published.&nbsp;<strong>As a result, please note that estimations with higher ring counts (&#39;rings&#39;) are likely to be calculated from more distant sensors. This distance depends upon the size of the postcode regions surrounding the location being estimated.

Britain Breathing 2020 Air Quality and Meteorological Regional Estimates Dataset

<p>This data set is a collection of estimated daily mean and maximum values for a range of air quality and meterological measurements and model forecasts for&nbsp;UK postcode districts (e.g. &#39;AB&#39;) for the year 2020.</p> <p>The data uses a &#39;concentric regions&#39;&nbsp;method to estimate the measurement for all regions, as follows. If measurements exist within the region, the mean of those measurements is used, if not, then a ring of neighbouring postcode regions are selected, and the mean of their measurement values used. If no measurement sites/data are found in the first ring, the process continues, taking the next&nbsp;ring of postcode district regions, working outwards until one or more sensors are found in a ring.&nbsp; As well as the measurement estimations, the number of rings required to find site data and make the estimations is also published.&nbsp;<strong>As a result, please note that estimations with higher ring counts (&#39;rings&#39;) are likely to be calculated from more distant sensors. This distance depends upon the size of the postcode regions surrounding the location being estimated. Please use the ring count (&#39;rings&#39;) to limit/filter estimations based on your required level of confidence.</strong></p> <p>The meteorological, pollen and air quality measurement data used to make the regional estimations can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/4740965#.YPWJf3VKhhF">this Zenodo archive</a>.&nbsp; The data&nbsp;there contains Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Pressure data, downloaded from the Met Office MIDAS archives via the MEDMI server (https://www.data-mashup.org.uk/).
