Description:
Statistically downscaled climate scenarios based on model output from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Downscaled scenarios were constructed from 27 Global Climate Models (GCMs) and 3 Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) from CMIP5, using the BCCAQv2 downscaling method described below. The RCPs represent low (RCP2.6), intermediate (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) rates of greenhouse gas emissions added to the atmosphere between 2006 and 2100. Projections can be selected for any combination of model, RCP, and time period.
