Methodological Lineage & Data Grounding

Built as an open analytical workbench to synthesize CMIP6 multi-model ensembles, NOAA Atlas 14 extreme precipitation frequency data, and CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Indices. Designed for municipal planners, public utility boards, and researchers responding to gaps in centralized national climate assessments.

Calculations & Adaptive Sizing

Compound hazard concurrency is modeled via multivariate Gumbel copulas connecting extreme temperature events and hydroclimatic anomalies. Direct damage estimates reflect localized depth-damage function curves adjusted by the chosen municipal hardening tier and social discount rate.
