Abstract

This dataset contains BIOCLIM variables (plus huss, sfcwind, rsds) which have been prepared and calculated from the original ISIMIP3b bias-adjusted climate forcing data from 5 GCM models (obtained on 2023-08-07). For more information on the original data and its properties, please see the ISIMIP3b modelling protocol and here specifically the climate forcing section https://protocol.isimip.org/#/ISIMIP3b/31-forcing-data and Frieler et al. (2024).

The original climate forcing data (global extent, daily temporal grain) were cropped to the European extent and spatial-temporally aggregated. Here 10 year (decadal) steps were chosen as target climatology.For each time slot (e.g. 10 years) and scenario (historical or ssps) the following 22 variables were calculated:

bioclim01 = Annual Mean Temperaturebioclim02 = Mean Diurnal Range (Mean of monthly (max temp - min temp))bioclim03 = Isothermality (BIO2/BIO7) (×100)bioclim04 = Temperature Seasonality (standard deviation ×100)bioclim05 = Max Temperature of Warmest Monthbioclim06 = Min Temperature of Coldest Monthbioclim07 = Temperature Annual Range (BIO5-BIO6)bioclim08 = Mean Temperature of Wettest Quarterbioclim09 = Mean Temperature of Driest Quarterbioclim10 = Mean Temperature of Warmest Quarterbioclim11 = Mean Temperature of Coldest Quarterbioclim12 = Annual Precipitationbioclim13 = Precipitation of Wettest Monthbioclim14 = Precipitation of Driest Monthbioclim15 = Precipitation Seasonality (Coefficient of Variation)bioclim16 = Precipitation of Wettest Quarterbioclim17 = Precipitation of Driest Quarterbioclim18 = Precipitation of Warmest Quarterbioclim19 = Precipitation of Coldest Quarterhuss = Average (arithmetric mean) specific humidityrsds = Average (arithmetric mean) Surface downwelling shortwave radiationsfcwind = Average near-surface wind speed (arithmetric mean)---Data properties:
