Description
Summary:Dataset containing surface temperature and surface mass balance datasets generated from the MAR regional climate model over Greenland over two test areas using statistical downscaling tools from 6 km to 100m. The abstract of the accompanying submitted paper follows: The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been contributing directly to sea level rise and this contribution is projected to accelerate over next decades. A crucial tool for studying the evolution surface mass loss (e.g., surface mass balance, SMB) consists of regional climate models (RCMs) which can provide current estimates and future projections of sea level rise associated with such losses. However, one of the main limitations of RCMs is the relatively coarse horizontal spatial resolution at which outputs are currently generated. Here, we report results concerning the statistical downscaling of the SMB modeled by the Modèle Atmosphérique Régional (MAR) RCM from the original spatial resolution of 6 km to 100 m building on the relationship between ...
