Data & Resources
Description
WorldClim version 2.1 data, aggregated by Fokontany and Commune, provides global monthly average climate data for minimum, mean and maximum temperature, as well as precipitation. These data are static, representing climatological averages calculated over the reference period 1970-2000, and are available at an original spatial resolution of 1 km². They have been aggregated to the administrative unit via a spatial mean. An additional aggregation was also performed at the level of the 500-meter buffer zones around the IHOPE survey villages, providing village-level monthly estimates for each site.

🔹 Processing Steps
Data aggregation by fokontany/commune using spatial average (weighted mean). The average value was calculated using Google Earth Engine's reducer function, which computes a weighted mean based on the proportion of each pixel area that falls within the polygon boundary.
