Climate Forcing Data

For generating climate forcing data for the SEIB-DGVM v3.00 and later.

Data generator based on CRU-JRA2.4
This dataset is most frequently used for historical simulations with the SEIB-DGVM.

Data generator based on CRU-NCEP-SRB
This dataset is relatively new. It would be more consistent as it originated from one data set.

Data set based on MIROC-ESM
This dataset includes forecasts. Due to the limited capacity of the rental server hosting this site, I cannot provide a data generator with this dataset. Please download the global dataset from the link below and adjust it yourself.
historical.tar.gz (Size 52.6GB)
RCP26.tar.gz (Size 32GB)
RCP45.tar.gz (Size 32GB)
RCP60.tar.gz (Size 32GB)
RCP85.tar.gz (Size 32GB)

Each file contains daily climate data from 1850 to 2005 for historical data and 2006 to 2100 for projection data. Geographical resolution is at a 0.5-degree terrestrial grid. No data for the water surface grid (i.e., Ocean and large lakes). Leap days are ignored, so each file contains climate data of 156*365 days for historical data and 95*365 days for future projection data. Files' names contain sequential longitudinal numbers. Each file is classified within a folder, of which the name is a sequential latitudinal number.
One-day data is composed of the following climate items in this order.
1. Surface air temperature (Celcius)
2. Daily range of tmp_air (Celcius)
3. Precipitation (mm day-1)
4. Shortwave radiation, downward, midday value (W m-2)
5. Longwave radiation, downward, whole day mean (W m-2)
6. Wind velocity (m s-1)
7. Relative humidity (%)
