CLIPC - Bias-corrected data

The CLIPC project provides access to climate information of direct relevance to a wide variety of users, from scientists to policy makers and private sector decision makers. Information will include data from satellite and in-situ observations, climate models and re-analyses, transformed data products to enable impacts assessments and climate change impact indicators.

This page documents the datasets produced by the Meteorologisk institutt within the CLIPC project under the deliverable ”D6.1 : Climate model data for Europe, bias-corrected when necessary, for CCII-T1 calculation. Documented dataset”. The deliverable is focussing on bias-corrected data at three different resolutions:

Global climate model (GCM) data interpolated to a common 2° × 2° grid,

Regional climate model (RCM) data at the EURO-CORDEX 0.44° (~ 50 km × 50 km) grid

RCM data at the EURO-CORDEX 0.11° (~ 12 km × 12 km) grid

Currently, the bias-corrected datasets are available through links on this page (see below) and at the CLIPC milestone page but will eventually become available through ESGF. The datasets now published as CLIPC Deliverable D6.1 is one of the first ensemble of multi-method bias correction datasets derived from the published EURO-CORDEX RCM ensemble at two spatial resolutions and complemented by bias corrected GCM data. The Meteorologisk institutt will provide data for 2. and 3.

News

Bias corrected EUR44-CORDEX and EUR11-CORDEX RCM data from SMHI are available here

Bias corrected EUR11-CORDEX RCM data from Met.no are available at the Arctic Data Centre ( Thredds catalog)
