Ripple resonance amplifies economic welfare loss from weather extremes

Using the loss-propagation model Acclimate (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.853345) we computed the regional and sectoral economic repercussion due to single disasters categories (heat stress, floods and tropical cyclones) as well as their consecutive disaster scenarios. The name component "en-20xx" refers to the economic network baseline. Our main analysis was based on the economic network of 2015.

These data sets contain the annual aggregated economic quantities: production, production value, production (zero), direct loss, direct loss value, total loss, total value loss, consumption (zero), consumption value, consumption, GDP, GDP value, GDP (zero). Consumption and GDP  (and corresponding variables) are regional quantities and therefore have only one non-NaN sectoral dimension (dimension zero). Quantities with a “(zero)” correspond to the annual baseline of the quantity (leap years taken into account).

The quantities of the disaster scenarios are divided as follows:
Heat stress: hs_observable
Floods: fl_observable
Tropical cyclones: tc_observable
Consecutive disasters: cp_observable

These variables have - next to “year”, “region”, “sector”, and “quantities” - the dimensions of the corresponding representative concentration pathway, global climate model, tropical cyclone season realization and hydrological model.
