Dataset Creation

Source Data

Synthetic data generated for demonstrating Climatelag applications.

Data Generation

Channels are sampled from controlled distributions with correlated structure. The term index is computed from normalized channels and directional weights.

Considerations

Social Impact

Research-only synthetic data for method development and reproducibility testing.
