CSV Explanation

The local file includes a metadata header as well as the data fields themselves, formatted as a tabular UTF-8 CSV file. The whole CSV is explained in great detail in this section of the documentation hub. Here, we include a very brief description of the content of the CSV:

  • Header Section: Contains metadata about the data export, including:
    • Version of the Sustax export system
    • Creation date of the CSV file
    • Geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude)
    • Location description
    • Soil data for the location (type of soil, vegetation cover, etc.)
    • Dataset information
    • Climate variable details (e.g. tas – 2 Metre Temperature)
    • Units (e.g. Kelvin)
    • Climate scenario (e.g. SSP-1.19, SSP-4.34)
    • User information
    • Time format and timestamp information
    • Description of data provenance
  • Data Section: Contains the actual climate data with:
    • First column: Date in YYYY/MM/DD format
    • Second column: Climate data (e.g. Temperature value in Kelvin for a given SSP scenario)
    • Remaining columns: Additional climate data rows (depending on the request)

More details on the CSV file, how to import it, open-source scripts for its interpretation or even how to interpret Sustax outputs by LLMs can be found here: Sustax data workflows and automation – Sustax
