The RCM employed is the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Regional Climate Model version 4 (RegCM4, Giorgi et al., 2012). The domain used is the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) Phase II East Asia domain, covering whole of China and its surrounding East Asia areas. The model is run at 25 km gird spacing, with its standard configuration of 18 vertical sigma layers with a model top at 10 hPa. Configuration of the model follows Gao et al. (2016, 2017), with land cover data over China was updated as reported by Han et al. (2015) to better represent the realistic vegetation. The initial and lateral boundary conditions needed to drive RegCM4 are derived from the CMIP5 models of HadGEM2-ES (RCP4.5 pathways), and the data set include temperature and precipitation.

File naming and required software

File name: the temperature and precipitation data are stored in NC format, and the file name is ea_sts.2006-2098.mon.xy.nc, which represents the future projection of temperature and precipitation in the simulation area from January 2006 to December 2098.
