Abstract

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 (12 km), 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 12 km data for the UK on the OSGB (WGS84) grid.

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.

Title

EuroCORDEX-UK: Regional climate projections for the UK domain at 12 km Resolution for 1980-2080

Abstract

Ten regional climate models were forced by outputs from six different general circulation models to 0.11 degree resolution (EUR-11) to produce an ensemble of 64 regional climate model runs. This data was conservatively regridded onto the 12 km OSGB grid, with land cells regridded only to land cell and sea cells regridded only to sea cells.
