EuroCORDEX-UK: Regional climate projections for the UK by Administrative Regions for 1980-2080

Regional climate model projections produced by the CoOrdinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) and complementary to that produced by the UK Climate Projection 2018 (UKCP18) project. The data provides information on changes in climate for the UK until 2080, downscaled to a high resolution (12km), helping to inform adaptation to a changing climate.

The projections cover the UK for a 100 year period, 1981-2080, for a high emissions scenario, RCP8.5. Each projection provides an example of climate variability in a changing climate, which is consistent across climate variables at different times and spatial locations.

This dataset contains average values of indices for administrative regions of the UK.

Dataset development was funded under the UK Climate Resilience programme, which is supported by the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund. The programme is co-delivered by the Met Office and NERC on behalf of UKRI partners AHRC, EPSRC, and ESRC.

本数据集由协调区域降尺度实验（CoOrdinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment，简称CORDEX）以及与之相辅相成的英国气候变化预测2018（UK Climate Projection 2018，简称UKCP18）项目所生产的区域气候模型预测结果构成。数据提供了关于至2080年英国气候变化的信息，并进行了高分辨率（12公里）的降尺度处理，旨在辅助应对气候变化的适应性调整。预测覆盖了英国一个百年时间跨度，即1981年至2080年，针对高排放情景，采用RCP8.5情景。每个预测案例均展示了气候变化中的气候变率示例，这些变率在不同时间和空间位置上的气候变量中保持一致性。该数据集包含了英国行政区划的平均指标值。数据集的开发得到了英国气候韧性计划（UK Climate Resilience programme）的资助，该计划由英国研究与创新机构（UKRI）的战略优先基金支持，并由气象办公室（Met Office）和国家环境研究委员会（NERC）代表英国研究与创新机构合作伙伴艺术与人文研究委员会（AHRC）、工程与物理科学研究委员会（EPSRC）和经济社会研究委员会（ESRC）共同实施。
