About

This website was created to enhance the visualization of the datasets discussed in the paper "Evaporative cooling devices for postharvest storage: where to best use then and how well do they work?". Please refer to the paper (DOI: https://doi.org/10.31224/2334) for more details.

These maps demonstrate the evaporative cooling potential. This is the temperature depression that can be achieved by cooling the ambient temperature down to dewpoint temperature.

We are SimBioSys (Simulating Biological Systems) group at Empa, St Gallen.

The calculations to derive the temperature depressions were conducted using the monthly temperature and relative humidity data of 2020 from ERA5 (accessed Jul 2021).

The clipping of the world was done by using Countries 2020 (Scale 1:1 Million) Shapefile from eurostat (accessed Jul 2021).
