Application-ready quantile-delta-change (QDC) scaled CMIP6 climate projections for Australia (global warming levels, 11km grid)

This collection consists of application-ready climate projections based on observed climate variability, adjusted through a quantile-delta-change method to incorporate projections from CMIP6 climate models.

The collection consists of daily projections of precipitation, mean downwelling shortwave radiation, maximum and minimum near-surface temperature, maximum, mean and minimum near-surface relative humidity, and mean and maximum near-surface wind speed for 9 CMIP6 models. Up to four 20-year windows of projections are available per model, corresponding to global warming levels of 1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C, and 4°C above pre-industrial (1850-1900). Data are based on future climate changes derived from simulations of the SSP3-7.0 shared socio-economic pathway and BARRA-R2 historic climate variability for Australia. This dataset is on the original 11km BARRA-R2 resolution.

Historical baseline data from BARRA-R2 used for the quantile-delta-change adjustment are also available.

This collection is not updated frequently.
