Description

CHC-CMIP6 was explicitly developed to support the analysis of climate-related hazards over the recent past and in the near-future.

This climate projection dataset contains global, daily gridded data for the observational (1983-2016) and projection (2030 and 2050) periods to be used in the identification and monitoring of hydroclimatic extremes. The dataset contains global daily high resolution (0.05°) grids of the Climate Hazards InfraRed Temperature with Stations (CHIRTS-daily) temperature product, the Climate Hazards InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) precipitation product, and ERA5-derived relative humidity, from which Vapor Pressure Deficits (VPD) and maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperatures (WBGTmax) were derived.

Large CMIP6 ensembles from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 245 and SSP 585 scenarios were used to develop high resolution (0.05°) daily 2030 and 2050 delta fields.
