Downscaled climate projections
Six climate variables using CanESM2 model (Price, D.T., McKenney, D.W. )
Projections of historical and future climate conditions downscaled to a 10 km grid. The climate variables available include maximum temperature anomaly (°C), minimum temperature anomaly (°C), precipitation anomaly (mm), solar radiation anomaly (MJ), surface wind speed anomaly (m/s), and water vapour anomaly. Data are normalised relative to the 1961-1990 means as simulated by the same model. For example, the anomaly data in the CanESM2 directory are based on the 1961-1990 means simulated by the CanESM2 model. Projections were made for four climate models including, Canadian Earth System Model, second-generation (CanESM2), Community Earth System Model, version 1; Community Atmospheric Model, version 5 (CESM1-CAM5), Hadley Centre Global Environment Model, version 2, earth systems model (HadGEM2-ES), Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate Earth System Model (chemistry coupled version) (MIROC-ESM-CHEM)
