CLIMACARE_02DAT_02PRE_PreprocessedDataset_v1.0.0

This dataset provides the CLIMA CARE Preprocessed Source Data Repository, version 1.0.0, developed within WP2 of the CLIMA CARE project. It contains the harmonized environmental, territorial, demographic, socioeconomic, mobility, population, land use, and settlement datasets used as input to the CLIMA CARE Data Loading Module. The original source data have been preprocessed to ensure compatibility with the project analytical framework. Depending on the dataset, preprocessing includes spatial reprojection, area weighted transfer to the CLIMA CARE reference grid, spatial aggregation or disaggregation, downscaling, temporal transformation, recoding, and derivation of indicators or summary metrics. The common spatial reference is the LMB0A grid, composed of hexagonal cells with approximately 1 km diameter in EPSG:32632. The package includes the preprocessed data files together with the reference grid, the operational data dictionary, structured metadata describing provenance, spatial and temporal characteristics, preprocessing, and field level definitions, and source specific licensing information. Daily, monthly, long term, yearly, and static products are included according to the characteristics of each source dataset. This release is intended to provide a transparent, reproducible, and versioned input repository for the CLIMA CARE processing workflow. The data package is designed for direct use with the corresponding CLIMA CARE Data Loading Module and for independent reuse where compatible with the applicable licensing conditions. The repository incorporates data derived from multiple third party sources subject to different licences and attribution requirements. The applicable conditions for each dataset family are documented in the accompanying licensing file. Use of the CLIMA CARE package and derived products must acknowledge the original CLIMA CARE release and reference the specific version and DOI.
