Climate projection data in Japan with 5km-mesh NHRCM by SOUSEI and TOUGOU programs

(1) This is the dataset simulated by high resolution non-hydrostatic regional climate model of which horizontal grid spacing is 5km over Japan and surroundings. The dataset consists of the present climate (20 years) and the future climate over the end of the 21st century (20 years) under the RCP8.5 and RCP2.6 scenarios (4 members for each scenario). (2) High resolution simulations enable to estimate the future change of extreme events, such as typhoons and localized torrential downpours, with high accuracy. (3) This dataset provides the climate projections which adaptations against global warming are based on in various fields, for example, disaster prevention, urban planning, environmental protection, and so on. It would realize the global warming adaptations consistent not only among issues but also among regions.
