Description
Summary:Provided here are the data files for the weather patterns generated for the 2018 UK Climate Projections (UKCP or UKCP18) Global ensemble (sometimes referred to as the land-gcm). The weather patterns are the same weather patterns as used in Neal et al. (2016) and used the same code to generate the weather patterns for the ensemble members. A historical equivalent of this dataset based on ERA5 can be found in Neal, (2022) . The UKCP Global model dataset features two ensembles: The PPE-15 : A 15 member perturbed parameter ensemble of the HadGEM3.05 model The CMIP5-13: A sub-selection of 13 members from the CMIP5 ensemble. The PPE-15 data is available using the RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 scenarios and the CMIP5-13 is available only using the RCP 8.5 scenario. When using these weather patterns please cite: Pope et al., 2022 , Investigation of future climate change over the British Isles using weather patterns. Climate Dynamics.
