Could you resolve it? I have the same problem

Sadly I could not. I had to use the dataset with lower spatial resolution.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-10-10)

I am currently working on a research project regarding climate sensitivities of plant species and I need to analyze future climate data. Worldclim.org has a broad spectrum of climate data based on current global climate models. I want to analyze the data using GIS applications such as ArcGIS Pro and QGIS as well as R.

However one particular dataset I need to analyze (MPI-ESM 1.2 HR with 30 seconds spatial resolutuion for SSP5-8.5) seems to be completely empty. All cells have "no data" assigned to them. The dataset is still 2GB large as it covers the whole earth. All the other datasets I looked at are somewhat larger (e.g. 8-10 GB) and work fine. Is there something obvious I am missing or is the data indeed faulty?

I tried contacting the people at worldclim.org regarding this issue a few weeks ago but I got no response as of today.
