Change Hawaiʻi Project Data
Climate Data for Hawaiʻi
The Hawaiʻi Climate Data Portal (HCDP) launched on March 3, 2022, after almost a decade of development with the support of the NSF EPSCoR Track-1 ʻIke Wai project and continuing support of the current NSF EPSCoR Track-1 Change HI project.
In its first year, the HCDP, which hosts a wide range of data products, climate tools and resources, received 40,000 visits to the site from 23,000 unique visitors representing 119 different countries. The more than 45,000 unique visitors to the site have accessed more than 20 million HCDP files.
Hawaiʻi Climate Data Portal
Near-real-time monthly rainfall and daily temperature maps, visualization tools and more.
A major enhancement to the HCDP is the integration of data from the NSF Hawaiʻi Mesonet project, which plans to establish 100 new climate stations across the state over the next two years. Similar efforts are underway in American Samoa, and funding is being sought for a mesonet in Guam.
Upcoming developments include mapping hourly wind speed and solar radiation and creating tools for wildfire risk assessment and drought forecasting.
