Climate Data for the Environment, or CliDE, is a climate database for Pacific Island nations.
CliDE underpins a range of vital services for Pacific communities. Such as maximising hydropower generation and assisting public health services.
CliDE was first released in 2009, and has been gradually developed to keep pace with data management needs in Pacific Island countries.
So we have a malaria issue going on right now in the northern Guadalcanal region.
CliDEsc is the application tool that’s attached to the climate database system for environment.
CliDEsc provides customised products and services, like the MalaClim early warning system.
So in the MalaClim early warning system, there is a threshold that we use to forecast rainfall for the malaria season.
The information that we provide goes to the malaria department, and the malaria department action the planning to the communities in trying to reduce malaria cases.
CliDE database system is for storing and archiving climate data.
Some of the parameters we store there includes rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind strength, and we can also record the visibility and cloud cover.
It secures our data. If a natural disaster destroys our archive room, we have digitised copies of our climate data.
There's 1000s and 1000s of pages still with us.
It is very, very important for us to digitise all those paper records, a time will come when those paper records will just crumble and go into pieces.
A major achievement for COSPPac has been making data more secure and accessible using cloud technology.
In the last five years, the cloud backup system was initiated.
Every single day there is a backup happening. So if we lose that data, we could lose only hours or minutes of data.
It makes our life easy. Whatever data we need, it's just a click away.
With a very robust backup and installation system, CliDE is the best we could ask for.
CliDE is built on tomorrow's technology.
The best gift we can give to our future generation is a set of quality-controlled climate data.
