GEO-INFER-CLIMATE: Climate Analysis and Modeling

Overview

GEO-INFER-CLIMATE provides comprehensive climate analysis capabilities for the GEO-INFER framework, enabling:

  • Weather Data Access: Real-time and historical weather data integration
  • Climate Projections: CMIP6 scenario-based climate projections
  • Impact Assessment: Climate change vulnerability and risk analysis
  • Trend Analysis: Historical climate trend detection and analysis

Features

Weather Data Integration

from geo_infer_climate import WeatherService

# Access weather data
weather = WeatherService()

# Get current conditions
current = weather.get_current(
    location=(37.7749, -122.4194),
    parameters=["temperature", "humidity", "wind", "precipitation"]
)

print(f"Temperature: {current.temperature}°C")
print(f"Humidity: {current.humidity}%")

# Get forecast
forecast = weather.get_forecast(
    location=(37.7749, -122.4194),
    hours_ahead=72,
    model="gfs"
)

Climate Projections

from geo_infer_climate import ClimateProjector

# Access CMIP6 projections
projector = ClimateProjector()

# Get future climate scenarios
projection = projector.get_projection(
    region=study_area,
    scenario="ssp245",  # SSP2-4.5 (middle of the road)
    time_period=("2040", "2060"),
    variables=["tas", "pr"]  # temperature, precipitation
)

print(f"Temperature change: {projection.temp_anomaly}°C")
print(f"Precipitation change: {projection.precip_change}%")

Climate Risk Analysis

from geo_infer_climate import ClimateRiskAnalyzer

# Assess climate vulnerabilities
analyzer = ClimateRiskAnalyzer()

risk = analyzer.assess(
    assets=infrastructure_data,
    hazards=["sea_level_rise", "extreme_heat", "flooding"],
    exposure_period="2050",
    socioeconomic_factors=demographics
)

print(f"High-risk assets: {risk.high_risk_count}")
print(f"Adaptation priority areas: {risk.priority_zones}")

Historical Trend Analysis

from geo_infer_climate import TrendAnalyzer

# Analyze historical climate trends
trends = TrendAnalyzer()

analysis = trends.analyze(
    region=city_boundary,
    period=("1980", "2025"),
    metrics=["mean_temperature", "extreme_heat_days", "annual_precipitation"]
)

print(f"Warming rate: {analysis.temp_trend}°C/decade")
print(f"Extreme heat increase: {analysis.heat_days_trend} days/decade")

# With all data sources
uv pip install -e "./GEO-INFER-CLIMATE[full]"

Use Cases

Climate-Resilient Urban Planning

from geo_infer_climate import UrbanClimateAnalyzer

urban = UrbanClimateAnalyzer(city="metropolis")

# Assess urban heat island effect
uhi = urban.analyze_heat_island(
    landcover=land_use_data,
    temperature=thermal_imagery
)

# Plan cooling interventions
interventions = urban.plan_cooling(
    budget=10_000_000,
    strategies=["green_roofs", "urban_trees", "cool_pavement"]
)
