Geoboxplot

In order to facilitate future users of the TCCIP platform to speed up the analysis of the uncertainty of climate projection data in specific areas, the public health field of the TCCIP program developed a geographical box-and-whisker plot drawing tool: Geoboxplot based on the meteorological data format produced by Team 1. Users can After inputting the coordinate range of the area of ​​interest, the program automatically draws a box-and-whisker plot of all GCM simulation results in the area. This program tool is written in Python 3.7 and is published on the open source platform GitHub for users to download. The program code can be modified according to user needs to meet usage requirements.

Public health impact assessment requires hazard meteorological indicator data as input data, and Geoboxplot can be used to analyze hazard indicator uncertainty. The input data format of the production hazard map is grid data with a spatial resolution of 5 kilometers. In order to provide a credibility statement for the simulation results, box-and-whisker plots of each production indicator are added for five major regions, including Tainan, where large-scale epidemics often occur. , Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Chiayi and Taichung, areas where Aedes aegypti mosquitoes may spread northward in the future, draw box-and-whisker plots respectively. The box-and-whisker plot drawing data of each region is a total of 33 GCMs (Tong et al., 2018). The simulation results of this region are averaged across all grids and presented in the form of a box-and-whisker plot.

About us

The Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and Adaptation Knowledge Platform (TCCIP) coordinated by National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) is one of three major climate change projects funded by National Science and Technology Council. The TCCIP project not only produces climate change data for impact assessments and adaptations but also aims to support national adaptation policy framework.
