Climate Change signals for CMIP5 ensemble

Description

This dataset contains air temperature and precipitation climate change signals of all climate simulations from the CMIP5 project from 1961-1990 to 2021-2050. Subregions are defined according to the CORDEX project. Subregion EU.ENS contains the European region defined in the ENSEMBLES project and World contains the entire earth. http://wcrp.ipsl.jussieu.fr/SF_RCD_CORDEX.html.

Details

This dataset is an exemplary output of models2wux.
