A climate database with varying drought-heat signatures for climate impact modelling

To allow for impact modelling for a wide range of sectors, we provide six scenarios with differing drought-heat signatures. Each scenario is 100 years long and we provide temperature variables (mean, minimum, maximum), precipitation, radiation (short- and longwave downward radiation and shortwave ne...

Description
Summary:To allow for impact modelling for a wide range of sectors, we provide six scenarios with differing drought-heat signatures. Each scenario is 100 years long and we provide temperature variables (mean, minimum, maximum), precipitation, radiation (short- and longwave downward radiation and shortwave net radiation) and wind (zonal and meridional) at daily timescales. All variables are available at a regular 1◦×1◦grid over land, except Antarctica and large parts of Greenland. Leap days were removed, so there are 365×100 time steps for each scenario.
