Tara - 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（LTER, Long-Term Ecological Research）站点位置的EURO-CORDEX区域气候模式（RCM, Regional Climate Model）集合模拟结果的时间序列气候情景数据。本次采用的EURO-CORDEX集合模拟集合，由针对不同温室气体浓度轨迹的CMIP5全球气候模式（GCM, Global Climate Model）动力降尺度结果组成，对应典型浓度路径（RCPs, Representative Concentration Pathways）：RCP2.6(6)、RCP4.5(14)与RCP8.5(14)。数据集涵盖以下未经过偏差校正的变量：近地表气温（tas, near-surface air temperature），单位为摄氏度；日最低近地表气温（tasmin, daily minimum near-surface air temperature），单位为摄氏度；日最低近地表气温（tasmax, daily minimum near-surface air temperature），单位为摄氏度；降水总量（pr, precipitation sum），单位为毫米·日⁻¹；海平面平均气压（psl, mean sea level pressure），单位为帕斯卡；近地表比湿（huss, near-surface specific humidity），单位为千克·千克⁻¹；地表下行短波辐射（rsds, surface downwelling shortwave radiation），单位为瓦·米⁻²；以及近地表风速（sfcWind, near-surface wind speed），单位为米·秒⁻¹。数据以txt与netCDF两种格式存储，时间分辨率涵盖日、月、年三个尺度。每个ZIP压缩数据包均包含数据文件与一份详尽的免责声明及附加说明资料。
