Global Warming Level for CMIP6 Downscaled Climate Projections (10km) of Mean and Extreme Climate Indices from the Queensland Future Climate Science Program for Australia

<p>The dataset includes mean and extreme climate indices for Australia for 15 downscaled climate simulations, based on a global warming level framework, and was developed by the Queensland Future Climate Science Program. CMIP6 Global Climate Models were dynamically downscaled to a 10km resolution over Australia using the CCAM model. Based on the SSP370 climate change scenario, a 20-year average around global warming levels of 1.2, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 degrees above the pre-industrial baseline was calculated. For each global warming level, this dataset provides mean climate, extremes (rainfall and temperature), heatwaves, Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) and drought and wetness (based on SPI and SPEI) for 15 individual climate simulations. The dataset spans the entire Australian continent.</p>
