The climate data from 1979 to 2100 of the southwest of Sichuan in China

Historical meteorological data in this study were collected from the National Meteorological Information Center of China (http://data.cma.cn) spanning from 1979 to 2020. The data include mean annual temperature (MAT), mean monthly temperature during the growing season (MMT), maximum annual temperature (MAX), minimum annual temperature (MIN), and annual precipitation from 65 meteorological stations within and around the study area. Using data from these stations, bilinear interpolation was applied at a spatial resolution of 4 km × 4 km to cover the entire study area.The future meteorological data were acquired from five General Circulation Model (ACCESS-ESM1-5, MRI-ESM2-0, MPI-ESM1-2-LR, ACCESS-CM2, MIROC-ES2L) which simulated three different future climate scenarios (SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5) as part of CMIP6, which are available at https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip6/.
