RETIRED: CMIP5 global climate model outputs and derived outputs, comprising: Data generated to produce PACCSAP reports; data generated to produce NRM reports; data generated to produce ACCSP reports

Updated: 2019-05-17

Processed global climate model outputs and derived analysis from historical and RCP simulations from CMIP5 models. A set of up to 26 models were used for all PACCSAP reporting, but some other models are now processed as well as part of the NRM and ACCSP projects. Datasets are complete time series as well averages for 1986-2005, 2020-2039, 2040-2059, 2060-2079 and 2080-2099. Derived variables are: Climatologies for each period Changes between periods (absolute and %) Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI) extremes indices (e.g. annual maximums) Average recurrence interval (ARI) calculations of 1-year, 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 20-year, 50-year and 100-year events fro rainfall and temperature extremes Standardised precipitation index (SPI) of meteorological drought Area-average means and changes for each partner nation and each NRM cluster region for all fields. Dataset decommissioned from NCI on 16 March 2026 as the CMIP5-derived NRM climatologies aggregations have migrated to a CSIRO server. The data will still be available via the Climate Change in Australia website: https://www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au/en/obtain-data/download-datasets/
