Climate change poses an existential threat to many islands in the Pacific. Small island states in the region are increasingly vulnerable to extreme rainfall events, cyclones, changes in ocean circulation, and rising sea level. Climate data is a critical resource to help development actors prepare for and address the challenges of a changing environment. However, these datasets can be difficult to work with due to the technical characteristics of the raw data. They are often stored in complex time-series grid formats such as netcdf. The raw data often require additional processing steps to compute meaningful indicators, such as rainfall anomalies or drought indices. Additionally, global climate grids are typically produced at coarse spatial resolutions (~55 km), making them unsuitable to study climate dynamics in small island states.
