Tabs
Map
In the Map tab, the projected values are mapped onto the geography of Europe. Buttons, sliders, and selection boxes are provided, allowing for the setting of different scenarios as well as data filtering.
Rank
The Rank tab contains an interactive table that presents the projected values sorted in terms of an impact measure. The same filtering options as in the map are available, allowing cities within a country, or different countries, to be compared.
The Group column attempts to create four ranked groups based on all the projected values being compared, with Group 4 being the most impacted.
The sub-scenario column corresponds to the toggle of the same name. The values within the column were left unchanged from the original data and correspond as follows:
demo = Historical+Demographic
full = Full
full-demo (read as full minus demo) = Climate change
For further information on these sub-scenarios please see the last paragraph of Methodology
Within the table views, the impact measures are labeled as AN, AF, and Rate, representing excess number of deaths, excess fraction of deaths, and excess mortality rate respectively.
All Data
The All Data tab provides the option to download aany of the six main datasets by making a selection and clicking the download button. These datasets are the six combinations of three spatial aggregation levels (city, country or region), and two projection dimensions (5-year periods or 3-global warming levels). This means that if “Country” and “Period” are selected, the downloaded dataset will contain projection results for all countries throughout all projected periods.
As the random data sample under the selection boxes aims to show, the downloaded data will include all the different combinations of all the remaining filtering variables.
General usage tips
The app displays impact projections for a given year, or a given temperature increase value, at one of three spatial aggregation levels (City, Country, Region). These options are given by the “By” and “Spatial domain” toggles.
Change the content of the boxes surrounding the map and rank table to change what is displayed in the respective widgets.
If “By Period” is selected, the values on the slider represent the year matching the projections being shown. Similarly, by selecting “By Temperature Increase” we can see the projections associated with a specific temperature increase.
With “City” selected we will see a map of points. If the “Country” box and the “Age group”” box display “All”, then we will see results for all the cities in all the countries, and for all the age groups added together.
With the “Temperature impact” box we can choose to show the mortality attributed to heat and/or cold.
Please have a look at the Glossary for information on the impact measures and scenarios.
Map tips
The layer button in the top-right controls the basemap tiles and by extension the names of the cities and countries shown.
Ranking table tips
The ranking table allows sorting by any of the present columns by clicking on the column name. The search box and export buttons are functional, with the latter permitting the download of the displayed table.
The number of rows to be shown can be adjusted in the entries box. To download the full table, first show all the rows.
