Abstract:
has an inbuilt database to store outputs of analysis. Outputs are stored in a folder of the
application or software used for the analysis. Quality control such as replacing white
spaces with a value accepted by the software had to be done manually by the user.
Climate indices are computed in bulk instead of allowing the user to compute specific
indices needed at a particular time. For this reason, a data repository for climate analysis
called PRIABO Data Repository was created through this research to help deal with these
challenges. This data repository deals with the white spaces during the loading of the data
into the data repository by replacing the white spaces with a value accepted by the
software or data repository. This data repository also computes specific indices at a time
depending on the needs of the user. There are 32 climate indices including core and noncore indices but this repository computes 16 climate indices with 2 non-core climate
indices and 14 core climate indices. Outputs such as indices and graphs are stored in the
database for each station.
