Time series of 40-year linear trend for the Arctic(ARC)and the Eastern Arctic(eARC)mean annual near surface air temperature (tas) for the period 1979-2100 as simulated by the CMIP5 models. The data for the period 1979-2005 are taken from the CMIP5 historical simulations, while data for 2006-2100 are from the future scenario rcp2.6, rcp4.5 and rcp8.5, respectively. The 40 year trend of 1979-2018 from the ERA-Interim reanalysis is also provided in separate files. The Arctic is defined as the area north of 70 N, and the eastern Arctic is defined as 0 - 180 E and north of 70 N. Each file contains the time series of the40-year linear trend for the respective area mean tasfromhistorical to one of the three scenarios simulated byone model. The linear trend is calculatedusing cdo, and the year associated with each data point in a file corresponding to the last year in the 40-year time period, e.g, the associated year 2018 corresponds to the linear trend calculated for the period 1979-2018. Unit: C/year.
