Application-ready quantile-delta-change (QDC) scaled CMIP6 climate projections for Australia (time-slices, 5km grid)

This collection consists of application-ready climate projections based on observations, adjusted through a quantile-delta-change method to incorporate projected climate changes from CMIP6 Global Climate Models. The collection consists of daily projections of precipitation, mean downwelling shortwave radiation, maximum and minimum near-surface temperature, maximum, mean and minimum near-surface relative humidity, and mean near-surface wind speed for 9 CMIP6 models. Two 30-year windows of projections are available (2035-2064 and 2070-2099) for four shared socio-economic pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5). Data is available with two sources of historic climate observations for Australia: AGCD (for precipitation and temperature only) and BARRA-R2. The BARRA-R2 baseline data has been interpolated to the same resolution as AGCD (~5km). In addition, historical baseline data for 1985-2014 from AGCD and BARRA-R2 used for the quantile-delta-change adjustment are also available in the collection. More in-depth information on the dataset can be found in the technical report: https://doi.org/10.25919/03by-9y62 This collection is not updated frequently.
