Dataset of trend-preserving bias-corrected daily temperature, precipitation and wind from NEX-GDDP and CMIP5 in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau——Part Ⅰ

A bias-corrected dataset containing daily meteorological data of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been generated, by using a trend-preserving bias-correction, the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP) approach together with a high-quality gridded meteorological dataset based on ground observation (CN05.1). The data set contains daily bias-corrected values of maximum/minimum near-surface air temperature, precipitation and mean near-surface wind speed from 15 models from the Fifth Phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) and their downscaled high-resolution dataset (NEX-GDDP) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) during 1986-2095. This dataset can provide important reference for the study on future climate change and its impacts in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region.

Note: For Tmax in historical periods, the values larger than 2606 refer to no data. Set them to NaN before using, for example (Matlab): Tmax(Tmax>2606)=nan;
