High-resolution, bias-corrected climate simulation data, known as climate scenarios, are essential for climate change impact model simulations. This global land-area climate scenario dataset is derived from up to 38 climate models’ simulations under historical conditions and seven future emission scenarios of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). The dataset includes ten variables with daily temporal resolution and a spatial resolution of 0.5°. It supports analyses of uncertainties in impact assessments related to climate models and future emission scenarios.

Data Set

Parameters
(1) Daily data on downward longwave radiation at the surface (dlwrfsfc), downward shortwave radiation at the surface (dswrfsfc), precipitation (precsfc), surface pressure (pressfc), relative humidity at 2m (rh2m), specific humidity at 2m (spfh2m), daily mean temperature at 2m (tave2m), daily maximum temperature at 2m (tmax2m), daily minimum temperature at 2m (tmin2m), and wind speeds at 10m. The spatial resolution is 0.5° longitude × 0.5° latitude. The experiments include the historical period (1950-2014) and seven shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) (2015-2100, O’Neill et al. 2016): ssp119, ssp126, ssp245, ssp370, ssp434, ssp534-over, and ssp585. The number of available climate models varies depending on variables and experiments. Bias corrections were applied only for land areas. (2) The same as (1) but for monthly mean data. (3) Annual-mean global-averaged surface air temperature for all the climate models and experiments. No bias corrections were applied. (4) The land mask file. The land grids are indicated by “1”.
