EuroCORDEX-UK: Regional climate projections for the UK by Countries for 1980-2080

Regional climate model projections produced by the CoOrdinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX) and complementary to that produced by the UK Climate Projection 2018 (UKCP18) project. The data provides information on changes in climate for the UK until 2080, downscaled to a high resolution (12km), helping to inform adaptation to a changing climate. The projections cover the UK for a 100 year period, 1981-2080, for a high emissions scenario, RCP8.5. Each projection provides an example of climate variability in a changing climate, which is consistent across climate variables at different times and spatial locations. This dataset contains average values of indices for the countries of the UK. Dataset development was funded under the UK Climate Resilience programme, which is supported by the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund. The programme is co-delivered by the Met Office and NERC on behalf of UKRI partners AHRC, EPSRC, and ESRC.

本数据集为协调区域降尺度实验（CoOrdinated Regional Downscaling EXperiment, CORDEX）生成的区域气候模式预估成果，且与英国气候预测2018（UK Climate Projection 2018, UKCP18）项目的产出互为补充。该数据针对英国地区提供了截至2080年的气候变化相关信息，经降尺度处理后空间分辨率可达12公里，可为气候变化适应行动提供科学依据。本次预估的时间范围为1981年至2080年，共计100年，覆盖英国全境，所用情景为高排放情景RCP8.5。每份预估结果均可展现气候变化背景下的气候变异性特征，且在不同时间与空间点位的气候变量间保持一致性。本数据集包含英国各构成国的气候指数平均值。本数据集的研发工作由英国气候韧性项目资助，该项目获英国研究与创新署（UKRI）战略优先级基金支持。该项目由英国气象局（Met Office）与自然环境研究理事会（NERC）代表英国研究与创新署的合作伙伴——艺术与人文研究理事会（AHRC）、工程与物理科学研究理事会（EPSRC）以及经济与社会研究理事会（ESRC）联合实施。
