Table 2 Overview of the key characteristics of the VHR-PRO_IT dataset.
From: Very High Resolution Projections over Italy under different CMIP5 IPCC scenarios
Dataset title | VHR-PRO_IT: Dynamical Downscaling with COSMO-CLM of historical (1989/2005) and future climate (2006/2050) data under scenario RCP8.5 at 2.2 km over Italy |
Data type | Model-generated data (numerical) - Climate Projections |
Dataset owner/provider | Fondazione Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) |
