Product Information: Maps: Anomalies for local projections (2.2km) regridded to 5km over UK
Process Title:
Maps: Anomalies for local projections (2.2km) regridded to 5km over UK
Abstract:
Generates a panel of small maps (also known as "small multiples", or a "postage stamp plot") from the regional projections for RCP8.5 for 1980-2080. Shows anomalies of chosen future periods (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 local 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. You may find some near-zero values of the order of 1e-11, these should be treated as zero as it's within rounding error.

SpatialSelectionType | Spatial selection type | UKCP Local (2.2km) provides the most spatially detailed picture of future climate for the mainland UK. However, due to the proximity of the Shetland Isles to the northern boundary of the model domain used for these projections, data produced here is not reliable and should not be used. This is because at the edge of the model domain the projections are influenced by the techniques required to drive the model at its boundaries, which prevent Local (2.2km) from developing its own climatology over Shetland. We do not include these grid cells to calculate the regional average for Scotland, Orkney and Shetland and North Scotland. | string | item |
