CHESS-SCAPE: Future projections of meteorological variables at 1 km resolution for the United Kingdom 1980-2080 derived from UK Climate Projections 2018

Gridded daily meteorological variables over the United Kingdom at 1 km resolution for the years 1980-2080. This dataset is an ensemble of four different realisations of future climate for each of four different representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5), provided both with and without bias correction. This dataset contains time series of daily mean values of air temperature (K), specific humidity (kg kg-1), relative humidity (%), wind speed (m s-1), downward longwave radiation (W m-2), downward shortwave radiation (W m-2), precipitation (kg m-2 s-2) and surface air pressure (Pa). It also contains time series of daily minimum air temperature (K), daily maximum air temperature (K) and daily temperature range (K). The data are provided in gridded netCDF files at 1 km resolution aligned to the Ordnance Survey / British National Grid. There is one file for each variable for each month of the daily data. Also provided are monthly, seasonal and annual means, for which there is one file for each variable for each time resolution. Additionally twenty year mean-monthly (Jan-Dec) climatologies at ten year intervals are provided, for which there is one file for each variable for each twenty year time slice. The projections use a 360-day calendar, where each month consists of 30 days.
