Randu meadows - 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.

本数据集提供面向欧洲全境各长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）站点位置的EURO-CORDEX集合区域气候模式（Regional Climate Model, RCM）模拟结果所生成的时间序列气候情景数据。本次采用的EURO-CORDEX集合由针对不同温室气体浓度变化轨迹的CMIP5（Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5）全球气候模式（Global Climate Model, GCM）动力降尺度结果构成，对应典型浓度路径（Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs）：RCP2.6（6）、RCP4.5（14）及RCP8.5（14）。本数据集涵盖以下未经过偏差校正的变量：tas为近地表气温（单位：℃）、tasmin为每日近地表最低气温（单位：℃）、tasmax为每日近地表最低气温（单位：℃）、pr为降水总量（单位：mm·d⁻¹）、psl为海平面平均气压（单位：Pa）、huss为近地表比湿（单位：kg·kg⁻¹）、rsds为地表下行短波辐射（单位：W·m⁻²）、sfcWind为近地表风速（单位：m·s⁻¹），数据存储格式包含文本文件（txt）与netCDF格式，时间分辨率涵盖日度、月度及年度三个尺度。每个ZIP压缩包数据套件均包含对应数据文件与一份详尽的免责声明及附加说明信息。
