This dataset is the high-resolution downscaled results of three global circulation models (CCSM4, HadGEM2-ES, and MPI-ESM-MR) from CMIP5. The regional climate model applied is the WRF model. The domain of this dataset covers the five countries of Central Asia. Its horizontal resolution is 9km. The future (reference) period is 2031-2050 (1986-2005), which includes the 10 years under 1.5-2℃ global warming. The carbon emission scenario is RCP4.5. The variances are annual mean temperature at 2m and precipitation (cumulus and grid-scale precipitation). This dataset can be used to project the climate in Central Asia.

File naming and required software

Filename: [model name]_9km_[simulation period]_yearly.nc，where the model names are CCSM4、HadGEM2-ES, and MPI-ESM-MR, and the simulation periods are 1986-2005 and 2031-2050. The filetype is netCDF, which can be opened with NCL and the Python packages , such as Numpy and Xarray.
