Regional Climate Simulations Of Surface Precipitation And Temperature For West Africa Using Cosmo-Clm Based On Mpi-Lr (Echam6) And Rcp4.5

Regional climate model COSMO-CLM (CCLM) simulations with a horizontal resolution of 0.11° (approx. 12 km) for sub-Saharan West Africa under current and future climate conditions. The CCLM is driven by initial and lateral boundary conditions from the MPI-LR (ECHAM6), based on the emission scenario RCP4.5. The downscaled MPI-LR (ECHAM6) data for surface precipitation (P) and surface temperature (Tmin, Tmax) are provided for the baseline period (1981-2010) and two future time slices, i.e. the 2021–2050 and the 2071–2100 period.
