The climatic variables simulated includes annual temperature and precipitation. This dataset has been validated against previously published independent climate models from a variety of relevant database and it looks good. This simulated climate data is available for download in netCDF (.nc) format, which is a standard format for most climate data. The datasets 11.5K_Down.nc is when dynamical downscaling has been applied whiles 11.5K_Standard.nc is the low resolution version of the iLOVECLIM simulations. ---------------- FILE INFORMATION ---------------- File List: The datasets is in netcdf format and has been categorized as temperature and precipitation for both the standard version and the dynamical downscaling. All the datasets can be assesed with programs such as Grads, NCL, CDO, NCO, GIS programs etc (a) 11.5K_Down(pp).nc - The variable is acc (annual precipitation in Europe for dynamical downscaling, the units is in meters(m)) (b) 11.5K_Down(temp).nc - The variable is Tann (annual temperature in Europe for the dynamical downscaling, the units is in degrees celsius) (c) 11.5K_Standard(precip).nc - The variable is pp (annual precipitation in Europe for the standard version of the model, the units is in cm/yr) (d) 11.5K_Standard.nc - The variable is ts (annual temperature in Europe for the standard version of the model, the units is in Kelvin, K) ------- SHARING ------- ALL UPLOADED DATASETS HAVE THEIR OWN CITE AND SHARING SECTION IN USN RESEARCH DATA ARCHIVE Acknowledgements.
