Library of climate resources

This is a collection of links to climate datasets, tools, guidance and related resources. The sources include the federal government, provincial and territorial governments, national professional organizations, climate consortia and established international organizations. It can be useful for impact, vulnerability and risk assessments, and for adaptation planning.

  • Flood Information (Opens in a new Window)

    The Flood Information tool showcases historical flood polygons on top of GeoNB base maps, and overlays flood polygons with databases of property maps and civic addresses. Descriptions of the flood data are also provided. Examples of data products include Forest Soils, Flood Map Indices, and Flood Risk Areas and Historical Floods.

    Flood Map Index (Opens in a new Window)

    The Flood Map Index provides awareness of the areas at risk of flooding and support for improved decision making for activities and development in flood prone areas. On an interactive map, users can view scanned, black and white images of New Brunswick Flood Risk Map Sheets for select regions in the province.

    Ice Graph (Opens in a new Window)

    IceGraph 2.0 generates ice coverage bar graphs and data tables for a selected region and date range. Data are available from 1968 to present and can be compared between seasons. Specific measures include first year ice, new ice, young ice, and old ice for the current season as well as for the historical monitoring period.

    Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Delta Maps (Opens in a new Window)

    Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Delta Maps were produced from an ensemble of 12 global climate models supplied by the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium. These delta (change) maps show the difference between current climate conditions and projected, future climate conditions. Two 30-year future periods (2021-2050 and 2051-2080) were used with the current period set to 1976-2005. Future data are available as gridded data.

    NeraCoos Data (Opens in a new Window)

    NeraCoos Data contains data products and tools summarizing eastern buoy, station, and forecasts data. Historical and future data are available as point data. Climate variables include wind speed, wind gust, air temperature, water temperature at varying depths, and air temperature; they are updated from each station and users can compare stations. Forecasts of coastal flooding and erosion, and 48-hour wave and wind are also available.

    Statistically Downscaled Climate Scenarios (Opens in a new Window)

    Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) offers statistically downscaled daily Canada-wide climate scenarios, at a gridded resolution of 300 arc-seconds (0.0833 degrees, or roughly 6 km x 10 km) for the period 1950-2100. The variables available include daily minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation. Users may access the scenarios using an interactive map interface that allows users to zoom, pan and select their region of interest using a rectangular-selection tool. Downscaled climate data is available for over 10 models under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5. Data are available for download in NetCDF, ASCII, and Arc formats.

    Water Quantity Information: Rainfall, Snowfall, Stream Flow and Groundwater (Opens in a new Window)

    Rainfall, Snowfall, Stream Flow and Groundwater is a monthly summary of the state of water levels in New Brunswick based on precipitation and streamflow data from the previous 6 months, and compared to long term averages. Each monthly report contains static maps and graphs on precipitation, streamflow runoff, groundwater level, and a summary outlook of water conditions.
