FORP-JPN02

Future Ocean Regional Projection (FORP) datasets were produced by high-resolution regional ocean model simulations with ensemble atmospheric forcings from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models and scenarios. These were developed by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Meteorological Research Institute, Japan Meteorological Agency. The development of FORP were supported by Social Implementation Program on Climate Change Adaptation Technology (SI-CAT, grant no.: JPMXD0715667163) and Integrated Research Program for Advancing Climate Models (TOUGOU, grant no.: JPMXD0717935561), the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Meteorological Research Institute Community Ocean Model version 4 (MRI.COMv4; Tsujino et al. 2017) was used for the regional ocean models. FORP-JPN02 is a historical and future ocean projection dataset in the region surrounding Japan with an approximately 2 km horizontal resolution, produced by dynamical downscaling simulation for several time slices from FORP-NP10 data. FORP-JPN02 version 4 was from the dynamical downscaling of FORP-NP10 version 4. The time slices of the FORP-JPN02 version1 are 1991-2018 from the JRA-55 historical simulation. 1991-2005 from the historical run of MIROC5. 1991-2005 from the historical run of MRI-CGCM3. 2086-2100 from the RCP2.6 run of MIROC5. 2086-2100 from the RCP2.6 run of MRI-CGCM3. 2041-2055, 2086-2100 from the RCP8.5 run of MIROC5. 2041-2055, 2086-2100 from the RCP8.5 run of MRI-CGCM3.
