Tmax A2 Change between 2000 and 2050 Median

ºC change in maximum daily temperature per year between 1986-2015 and 2036 - 2065. The mean annual maximum daily temperature for each downscaled global circulation model (GCM), i.e. csiro, gfdla20, gfdl21, miroc, mpi and ukmo using the Cubic Conformal Atmospheric Model (CCAM) developed by CSIRO (Australia) and updated and modified by the CSIR (South Africa) was calculated for each of the 30 year periods. The absolute difference between the two periods is based on the mean annual maximum daily temperature value and is calculated as follows: (Tmax2050-Tmax2000) for each of the six downscaled GCM models. The 50th percentile (median value) is based on these differences. Data are in raster format with a 0.5º resolution using a projected latitude / longitude coordinate reference system with `+proj=utm +zone=48 +datum=WGS84 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0`.`.
