Norwegian license for public data (NLOD) and CC-4.0-BY An ensemble of ten EURO-CORDEX GCM/RCM simulations, each representing two alternative emission pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5), were bias-corrected using an empirical quantile mapping method. These corrected datasets covering the period 1971-2100 were then forced with a spatially distributed, gridded version of the HBV model to generate daily time series of different hydrological components.

sensing-meteo-40 Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium Canadian Downscaled Climate Scenarios - Univariate (CMIP5): CanDCS-U5 data (format: netCDF and ASCII) Climate data and forecast N.A. Open N.A. N.A. 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.
