The overarching goal of the HCDP is to provide streamlined access to high-quality reliable climate data and information for the State of Hawai‘i and for parts of the Pacific. This includes the production of gridded near-real-time rainfall and temperature maps, as well as other climate variables. Using the Access Data tool, users can access a user-friendly tool to visualize and download data with relative ease. Easy access to high-quality climate data, information and products through the HCDP allows researchers to focus more time on their analyses and less time on data collection and processing. It also provides the broader community with access to information that would otherwise be inaccessible due to technical limitations. Finally, centralizing data and information helps to create a more holistic environment for environmental stewardship in Hawai‘i.
