Bias-corrected CORDEX dataset for the Carpathian Region

This dataset contains bias-corrected regional climate model (RCM) daily outputs for the following variables under the RCP8.5 scenario:
- tas
- tasmin
- tasmax

The reference dataset is CARPATCLIM (Szalai et al., 2013) which covers the the Carpathian Region for the period 1961-2010.

The dataset contains bias corrected daily outputs of the following high-resolution (0.11o) RCMs from the framework of EURO-CORDEX (Jacob et al., 2014) and Med-CORDEX (Ruti et al., 2016):
- ALADIN
- CCLM
- HIRHAM
- RACMO
- RCA4
- RegCM
- REMO
- WRF

The dataset covers the following periods with grid spacing of 0.11o on a regular lon/lat grid (between latitudes 44°N and 50°N, and longitudes 17°E and 27°E):

- 1976-2005

- 2021-2050

- 2070-2099

File format: NetCDF

All data have been created following the work of Mezghani et al. (2017).
