description: CHELSA is a global, kilometer-scale climate dataset generated with the CHELSA downscaling model. It provides high-resolution climatological data for the earth's land surface areas, including daily and monthly variables, long-term climatological means, bioclimatic variables, and drought indices. The catalog also includes regional high-resolution products (e.g., Switzerland, Canary Islands), paleoclimate reconstructions (TraCE21k), and other derived products. Coverage includes global land surface areas and selected regional domains; temporal scope spans past (paleoclimate), present (including 1979 onward for many products), and future scenarios (where applicable).
