Gridded national historical/future downscaled climate model data

This downscaled climate model data is based on Global Climate Model (GCM) projections from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and the NRCanMet historical daily gridded climate dataset for Canada.​​ Statistical properties and spatial patterns of the downscaled scenarios are based on gridded observational data. For the historical 1950-2005 period, which was used to calibrate the downscaling models, statistical properties of the downscaled outputs will, by design, tend to match those of the gridded observational dataset. The day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year, etc. sequencing of values, however, will not correspond to observations.

This data is also provided or used in other venues, for example served via the Canadian Climate Atlas (https://climateatlas.ca/), integrated into the IDF-CC tool (https://www.idf-cc-uwo.ca/), and via the Canadian Center for Climate Services (https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/climate-change/canadian-centre-climate-services.html)
