Mesta River - Regional climate model data from EURO-CORDEX for the eLTER project

The dataset provides climate scenario data as time series based on an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX regional climate model (RCM) simulations for each LTER site location throughout Europe. The EURO-CORDEX ensemble used here consists of dynamically downscaled CMIP5 global climate models (GCMs) for different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories, the representative concentration pathways (RCPs: RCP2.6 (6), RCP4.5 (14) and RCP8.5 (14)). The datasets cover the following, non-bias adjusted variables: tas = near-surface air temperature [degC], tasmin = daily minimum near-surface air temperature [degC], tasmax = daily minimum near-surface air temperature [degC], pr = precipitation sum [mm day-1], psl = mean sea level pressure [Pa], huss = near-surface specific humidity [kg kg-1], rsds = surface downwelling shortwave radiation [W m-2], and sfcWind = near-surface wind speed [m s-1] in txt and netCDF data format at daily, monthly and yearly temporal resolution. Each ZIP-file data package contains the data file as well as an extensive disclaimer with additional information.

本数据集针对欧洲全境各长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点位置，提供基于欧洲区域降尺度气候试验（EURO-CORDEX）集合区域气候模式（RCM）模拟结果的时序气候情景数据。本次采用的EURO-CORDEX集合模拟，由针对不同温室气体浓度轨迹的耦合模式比较计划第五阶段（CMIP5）全球气候模式（GCMs）动力降尺度结果构成，对应的典型浓度路径（RCPs）包括RCP2.6(6)、RCP4.5(14)及RCP8.5(14)。数据集涵盖以下未经过偏差校正的变量：tas为近地面气温（单位：摄氏度，[degC]），tasmin为逐日近地面最低气温（单位：摄氏度，[degC]），tasmax为逐日近地面最低气温（单位：摄氏度，[degC]），pr为降水总量（单位：毫米/日，[mm day⁻¹]），psl为海平面平均气压（单位：帕斯卡，[Pa]），huss为近地面比湿（单位：千克/千克，[kg kg⁻¹]），rsds为地表向下短波辐射（单位：瓦/平方米，[W m⁻²]），sfcWind为近地面风速（单位：米/秒，[m s⁻¹]）；数据以文本文件及网络通用数据格式（netCDF）存储，时间分辨率涵盖日、月、年三级。每个ZIP压缩包数据集均包含数据文件与一份详尽的免责声明及附加信息。
