Bosco Fontana - 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各长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点位置的欧洲区域气候降尺度试验（EURO-CORDEX）集合区域气候模式（Regional Climate Model, RCM）模拟结果构建的时序气候情景数据。本研究采用的EURO-CORDEX集合数据集，包含针对不同温室气体浓度轨迹——即代表性浓度路径（Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs：RCP2.6(6)、RCP4.5(14)与RCP8.5(14)）——的耦合模式比较计划第五阶段（Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5, CMIP5）全球气候模式（Global Climate Model, GCM）动力降尺度结果。数据集涵盖以下未经过偏差校正的变量：tas（近地表气温，单位：摄氏度[degC]）、tasmin（日最低近地表气温，单位：摄氏度[degC]）、tasmax（日最低近地表气温，单位：摄氏度[degC]）、pr（降水总量，单位：毫米·日⁻¹[mm day⁻¹]）、psl（平均海平面气压，单位：帕斯卡[Pa]）、huss（近地表比湿，单位：千克·千克⁻¹[kg kg⁻¹]）、rsds（地表下行短波辐射，单位：瓦·米⁻²[W m⁻²]）以及sfcWind（近地表风速，单位：米·秒⁻¹[m s⁻¹]）；数据格式涵盖纯文本（txt）与网络通用数据格式（netCDF），时间分辨率包含日度、月度与年度三个尺度。每个ZIP压缩包数据集均包含数据文件与一份详尽的免责声明及补充信息。
