BhutanBioClims: High-resolution (250 m) historical and projected (CMIP6) bioclimatic variables for Bhutan

This collection provides 121 sets of 19 bioclimatic variables (see Booth et al. 2014) describing the historical (1986–2015) and projected future (CMIP6) climates of Bhutan with a spatial resolution of 250 m. The future 19 bioclimatic variables include four shared socio-economic pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5) (O'Neill et al., 2016; Riahi et al., 2017) and three periods (2021–2050, 2051–2080, and 2071–2100) using 10 global climate models (GCMs). These data can be used for many applications in environmental and agricultural science.
