| Summary: | The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) provides a framework for the collation of a set of consistent, multi-sector, multi-scale climate-impact simulations, based on scientifically and politically relevant historical and future scenarios. This framework serves as a basis for robust projections of climate impacts, as well as facilitating model evaluation and improvement, allowing for advanced estimates of the biophysical and socio-economic impacts of climate change at different levels of global warming. It also provides a unique opportunity to consider interactions between climate impacts across sectors. ISIMIP2a is the first simulation round of the second phase of ISIMIP, focusing on historical simulations of climate impacts on agriculture, fisheries, permafrost, biomes, regional and global water and forests. This will serve as a basis for model evaluation and improvement, allowing for improved estimates of the biophysical and socio-economic impacts of climate change at different ... : All 6 datasets are observational in nature, i.e., based on reanalyses and other observational data sources. GSWP3 v0.5b covers 1901-2010, was generated in phase 3 of the Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP3; Dirmeyer et al., 2006) and is a dynamically downscaled and bias-adjusted version of the 20th Century Reanalysis v2 (Compo et al., 2011; Kim, 2017). The Princeton Global Meteorological Forcing Dataset (PGMFD) v2.1 covers 1901-2012 and is an interpolated and bias-adjusted version of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP-NCAR) reanalysis (Kalnay et al. 1996; Kistler et al. 2001), with data for years prior to 1948 generated based on resampled NCEP-NCAR data (Sheffield et al., 2006). The WATCH Forcing Dataset (also known als WFD) covers 1901-2001 and was generated in the WATer and Global Change (WATCH) project. It is an interpolated and bias-adjusted version of ERA-40, the 40-year reanalysis of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ... |
