Description:
This catalogue entry provides gridded data from global (CMIP5 and CMIP6) and regional (CORDEX) projections for the set of 22 variables and indices included in the IPCC Interactive Atlas a novel contribution from Working Group I (WGI) to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). These variables and indices are relevant for the climatic impact-drivers used in the regional assessments conducted in AR6 (Chapters 10 11 12 and Atlas) related to heat and cold wet and dry snow and ice and wind. This dataset is particularly intended for users who want to develop customised products not directly available from the IPCC Interactive Atlas (e.g. regional information at national or subnational scales).
This dataset includes gridded information with monthly/annual temporal resolution for historical experiments and climate projections based on Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) / Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios for CMIP5/6 and CORDEX multi-model ensembles for the 22 variables and indices (computed from daily data). The ensembles are harmonised using regular grids with horizontal resolutions of 2° (CMIP5) 1° (CMIP6) 0.5° (CORDEX) and 0.25° (European CORDEX domain); details on the particular ensembles for each dataset are included in the documentation links.
This dataset allows the reproduction expansion and customisation of the climate change products displayed in the IPCC Interactive Atlas. This includes the global/continental maps of CMIP/CORDEX climate changes (for future periods across scenarios or for global warming levels e.g. +2°C) and the regionally-aggregated time series scatter plots or global warming level plots. Related datasets also available through the same repository include the CMIP5/6 global climate projections and the CORDEX regional climate projections.
