CORDEX-CORE urban and impervious surface area dataset

Repository containing the urban fraction and impervious surface area data for REMO2015 and RegCM4, for both CORDEX-CORE (0.22⁰) and EURO-CORDEX (0.11º). This repository contains the urban (sfturf) and impervious (sftimf) area fraction datasets supporting the article “Representation of global mega-cities and their urban heat island in CORDEX-CORE regional climate model simulations” by Langendijk, et al. (2025), DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15691322. Data were collected from the modeling centers and processed to comply with the CORDEX-CMIP5 archiving specifications, except for the directory hierarchy, which is omitted.
