Overview

This data set consists of daily, 5 km resolution precipitation and mean, near-surface air temperature projections from 2015 through 2100 for the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region. The data were generated by statistically downscaling 0.5° resolution model data from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) Seamless System for Prediction and EArth System Research (SPEAR) 30-member ensemble climate model. Projections are provided for two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs): SSP2-4.5 and SSP5 8.5. A historical model run from 1990 through 2014 is also available.
