The new version also includes the annual values of the LOESS-curve for Austria in the period from 1850 to 2025 as well as the corresponding uncertainty ranges.
Both the Ensemble Forecast and the High-Resolution Weather Model now use the improved C-LAEF Alpe-Adria background model. In version 2, the data is interpolated to a 2.5-km-grid to ensure compatibility with existing applications. No endpoint changes are necessary.
At the beginning of 2027, these versions will be replaced by new versions of the new model with new endpoints.
The Air Quality Index (AQI), based on WRF-Chem-simulations with 3x3 km resolution, assesses the pollution levels and their potential health impacts in categories from "very good" to "extremely bad".
The WRF-Chem-model for predicting desert dust transport covers from the equator to Scandinavia and is published as part of the WMO-initiative SDS-WAS.
With the revision of our GeoSphere Austria datasets, titles and descriptions have been redesigned to make it easier to assign them to the relevant topics outside the Data Hub. These improvements facilitate targeted and efficient use of our data, e.g.,
We are pleased to announce that the Data Hub has received a multilingual update. With this new update, our Data Hub, and especially our metadata, is now largely available in multiple languages – switch between German and English with a single click!
Version 2 of the APOLIS radiation dataset (https://data.hub-staging.geosphere.at/en/dataset/apolis-v2-1d-100m) shows fewer errors in validation than the previous version. Furthermore, artifacts in the dataset have been reduced.
The new dataset provides monthly area mean temperatures for Austria, as well as for the federal states from 1850 to 2025 and is created by combining two proven climate datasets - SPARTACUS and HISTALP.
The dataset Overview of Natural Hazards and Risk Assessment Austria (HORA) v1: Heat Layer describes various heat indicators with a spatial resolution of 1 x 1 km and is now available here.
The AAR2 climate change indicators are now available. These address the impacts of climate change in Austria, such as extreme events related to heat, drought, precipitation, and much more. Further information can be found here.
FTP data provision for forecast datasets will end on 2 December 2025. Please switch to bulk download via HTTP filelisting instead.
The new COIN2.0 datasets are now available. These datasets, based on ÖKS15, were specifically calculated for impact analyses at various temporal and spatial resolutions. Further information can be found here.
We are pleased to announce that the Data Hub has received a design update. The new look is more closely aligned with our corporate identity, ensuring a consistent and recognizable presentation of our services.
Please note that this is purely a visual update — the functionality and content of the Data Hub remain unchanged.
The redirection of *.hub.zamg.ac.at and all subdomains to *.hub.geosphere.at will be discontinued at the end of 2025. Subsequent attempts to access this domain will result in the error message "404 Not Found".
Examples:
https://data.hub.zamg.ac.at -> https://data.hub.geosphere.at
https://dataset.api.hub.zamg.ac.at -> https://dataset.api.hub.geosphere.at
If you are still using an old URL, please switch to the new domain by December 31, 2025. Otherwise, no action is required.
The GeoSphere Austria data portal will soon migrate to a new domain and will then be accessible at https://data.hub.geosphere.at/.
In addition to the download form, an API is available for downloading raster and station data. The API documentation can be found at https://dataset.api.hub.geosphere.at/v1/docs.
