Mata de Sines - Regional climate model data from EURO-CORDEX for the eLTER project

The dataset provides climate scenario data as time series based on an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX regional climate model (RCM) simulations for each LTER site location throughout Europe. The EURO-CORDEX ensemble used here consists of dynamically downscaled CMIP5 global climate models (GCMs) for different greenhouse gas concentration trajectories, the representative concentration pathways (RCPs: RCP2.6 (6), RCP4.5 (14) and RCP8.5 (14)). The datasets cover the following, non-bias adjusted variables: tas = near-surface air temperature [degC], tasmin = daily minimum near-surface air temperature [degC], tasmax = daily minimum near-surface air temperature [degC], pr = precipitation sum [mm day-1], psl = mean sea level pressure [Pa], huss = near-surface specific humidity [kg kg-1], rsds = surface downwelling shortwave radiation [W m-2], and sfcWind = near-surface wind speed [m s-1] in txt and netCDF data format at daily, monthly and yearly temporal resolution. Each ZIP-file data package contains the data file as well as an extensive disclaimer with additional information.

本数据集提供基于欧洲全境各长期生态研究（Long-Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点位置的EURO-CORDEX区域气候模型（Regional Climate Model, RCM）集合模拟结果构建的时间序列气候情景数据。本研究所采用的EURO-CORDEX集合模拟，由针对不同温室气体浓度情景——即典型浓度路径（Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs：RCP2.6(6)、RCP4.5(14)与RCP8.5(14)）——的、经动力降尺度处理的CMIP5全球气候模型（Global Climate Model, GCMs）结果组成。数据集涵盖以下未经过偏差校正的变量：tas为近地表气温[℃]，tasmin为每日近地表最低气温[℃]，tasmax为每日近地表最低气温[℃]，pr为降水总量[mm day⁻¹]，psl为海平面平均气压[Pa]，huss为近地表比湿[kg kg⁻¹]，rsds为地表下行短波辐射[W m⁻²]，sfcWind为近地表风速[m s⁻¹]；数据格式包含文本（txt）与网络通用数据格式（netCDF），时间分辨率涵盖日、月、年三级。每个ZIP压缩数据包均包含数据文件与一份包含补充信息的详细免责声明。
