WBTmax-China dataset basing on EC-Earth3 simulations (Historical and 4 SSPs scenarios)

The WBTmax-China dataset is comprised the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 dataset (tasmax, huss) and ERA5 dataset (sp) using the algorithm described in Davies-Jones (2008), implemented by Buzan (2015), and ported to Matlab by Dr Robert Kopp (Rutgers, 2016). The NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 dataset is comprised of global downscaled climate scenarios derived from the General Circulation Model (GCM) runs conducted under the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and across two of the four “Tier 1” greenhouse gas emissions scenarios known as Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). This dataThe purpose of this dataset is to provide a set of high resolution, bias-corrected climate change projections that can be used to evaluate extreme heat over China.

Due to the data size limit, only monthly maximum WBT and yearly maximum WBT data are provided here. Daily data can also be shared on request (ncao@gdou.edu.cn).
