This jupyter book is developed as part of the VALORADA project, which empowers European regions and cities to steer the upcoming societal transformation towards sustainable and climate-resilient development. Therefore, this book provides hands-on tools and explanations around the extreme precipitation hazard, and helps users and muncipalities to estimate the impact of extreme precipitation in the past and in the future.
📖 On this Jupyter Book site, you’ll find easy-to-run tutorial notebooks that help you explore, understand, and visualize precipitation data. In conjunction with exposure and vulnerability data, this Jupyter Books helps you estimate and interpret the impact of extreme precipitation under climate change on your region. Whether you’re new to such climate risk assessments or already familiar with it, we hope this material helps you discover something new and jump-start your own projects.
