Product Information: Maps: Probabilistic projections of climate extremes (25km) over UK, 1961-2100
Process Title:
Maps: Probabilistic projections of climate extremes (25km) over UK, 1961-2100
Abstract:
Generates maps of 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles of future changes over the UK for one variable and return period from the probabilistic projections of climate extremes. Single seasons for a specific year from 1961 to 2100 are available for the future period only. Results are available as absolute future values for a given emissions scenario, specific season, time range and 25km grid cell. The data incorporates a bias correction that ensures consistency with observed return levels for the baseline period of 1981-2000.
User Guide:
The results are suitable for analysis of extremes at specific 25km grid squares, but not for analysis of joint risks at spatially distributed locations. If you're interested in spatially distributed analysis, or other types of extreme event, suitable climate model data can be obtained from other UKCP products. (i.e. UKCP Global, UKCP Regional and UKCP Local. For guidance on the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) and how to interpret the plots, please see the guidance pages.
Warning:
Before using this product, please read the UKCP18 Guidance on Caveats and Limitations, the UKCP Factsheet on the Probabilistic Projections for Climate Extremes (both available here) as well as the conditions of us under the Open Government Licence.
