Product Information: Maps: Anomalies for global projections (60km) over UK
Process Title:
Maps: Anomalies for global projections (60km) over UK
Abstract:
Generates a panel of small maps (also known as "small multiples", or a "postage stamp plot") from the global projections for RCP2.6 or RCP8.5. Shows anomalies of chosen periods (1900 to 2100, 1 or 20 years) from a choice of baseline (representing current climate). Results are available for a given temporal average and areas. Each member of the set of global projections is represented as a single small map.
User Guide:
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 as well as the conditions of us under the Open Government Licence.

Variable | Variable | While all variables are available for the PPE-15 subset of UKCP Global (i.e. the 15 members of the perturbed parameter ensemble using the Hadley Centre’s climate model HadGEM3-GC3.05) this not the case for the CMIP5-13 subset. For RCP8.5, only precipitation and mean temperatures are available for all members of CMIP5-13. For RCP2.6, some members of CMIP5-13 do not have any future projections for all variables. Further details are available in the guidance on data availability, access and formats. | string | item |
