# Cooling-Degree-Day-in-West-Africa This repository contains the scripts and files to be able to reproduce the analysis performed in the article **Potential changes in cooling degree day under different global warming levels and shared socioeconomic pathways in West Africa**. # CDD and CDDP computation scripts The jupyter notebook used are provided in the **Scripts** folder. - CDD_and_CDDP_Analysis_Visualisation_Final.ipynb - CDD netcdf files processed to compute analysis and necessary plots in the article - Bias_Correction.ipynb - Climate projection bias correction - Compute_Cooling_Degee_Day.ipynb - Set of instructions uses to compute the Cooling Degree Day for each climate model files under RCP 4.5 and RCP8.5 - CDD_per_global_warming_level.ipynb - Set of instructions to compute the Cooling Degree Day for each Global Warming Levels (GWLs) Base temperature determination has been done in R software. - Base_temperature.R : code for the base temperatue determination for each country considered alongside the different graph - Seasonal_load_profile_West_Africa.R : code of the Figure 4 of the article with the seasonal variation # Maps This folder contains the QGIS project created to generate study area map as well as Senegal map overlay by population (Figure 5). # Post-process files Bias-corrected climate projection datasets used are available at registry.opendata.aws and subset over the study area can be assessed at Input files for the Potenti…. Output generated as a result of the analysis in csv format are provided in cdd_ouput/cdd folder.
