Extending the global high-resolution downscaled projections dataset to include CMIP6 projections at increased resolution coherent with the ERA5-Land reanalysis

This paper describes the extension of the previously CMIP5 based high-resolution climate projections with ad-ditional ones based on the more recent climate pro-jections from the CMIP6 experiment. The downscaling method and data processing are the same but the ref-erence dataset is now the ERA5-Land reanalysis (com-pared to ERA5 previously) allowing to increase the res-olution of the new downscaled projections from 0.25 degrees x 0.25 degrees to 0.1 degrees x 0.1 degrees. The extension comprises 5 climate models and includes 2 surface variables at daily resolu-tion: air temperature and precipitation. Three greenhouse gas emissions scenarios are available: Shared Socioeconomic Pathways with mitigation policy (SSP1-2.6), an inter-mediate one (SSP2-4.5), and one without mitigation (SSP5-8.5).(c) 2022 The Author(s).
