New data set release: High Mountain Asia Daily 5 km Downscaled SPEAR Precipitation and Air Temperature Projections, Version 1

The High Mountain Asia Daily 5 km Downscaled SPEAR Precipitation and Air Temperature Projections, Version 1 data set is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This dataset consists of daily, 5 km resolution projections of precipitation and mean near-surface air temperature for the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region. The data were generated by statistically downscaling the 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. The historical model run (1990 through 2014) used to initialize the SPEAR projections is also available.
