Simulated forcing dataset of 3km/6hour in Heihe River basin (1980-2080)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

Ec-earth-heihe USES the output of the global model of ec-earth as the driving field to simulate the 6-hour data of the Heihe river basin in 2006-2080 under the scenarios of 1980-2005 and RCP4.5.Spatial scope: the grid center of the simulation area is located at (40.30n, 99.50e), the horizontal resolution is 3 km, and the number of simulated grid points in the model is 161 (meridional) X 201 (zonal).

Projection: LAMBERT conformal projection, two standard latitudes of 30N and 60N.

Time range: from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2010, with an interval of 6 hours.

Description of file contents: monthly storage by grads without format.Except the maximum and minimum temperature as the daily scale, the other variables are all 6-hour data.

MATLAB can be used to read, visible tmax_erain_xiong_heihe.m file description.

For example, precip-ec-earth-6hour.198001，Is the data of 6-hour precipitation in January, 1980

(1) historical 6-hour data driven by the ec-earth global climate model from 1980 to 2005

(2) produce 6-hour data of heihe river basin under the scenario of RCP 4.5 for the global climate model ec-earth from 2006 to 2080
