Description:
Statistically downscaled climate scenarios based on model output from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP6). Downscaled scenarios were constructed from 26 GCMs and 3 Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) from CMIP6, using the two distinct statistical downscaling methods described below. The SSPs represent low (SSP1-2.6), intermediate (SSP2-4.5) and high (SSP5-8.5) rates of greenhouse gas emissions added to the atmosphere between 2013 and 2100. Projections can be selected for any combination of model, SSP, and time period.
