EURO-CORDEX - European component of the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment

The NA-CORDEX dataset contains regional climate change scenario data and guidance for North America, for use in impacts, decision-making, and climate science. The NA-CORDEX data archive contains output from regional climate models (RCMs) run over a domain covering most of North America using boundary conditions from global climate model (GCM) simulations in the CMIP5 archive. These simulations run from 1950–2100 with a spatial resolution of 0.22°/25km or 0.44°/50km. This AWS S3 version of the data includes selected variables converted to Zarr format from the original NetCDF. Only daily data are currently available; all daily data were mapped to the Gregorian calendar. Sub-daily data may be added later. Both raw and bias-corrected data are available. Further details about this version of the dataset are available at the documentation link below.

BARRA2 presents a moderate-resolution regional atmospheric reanalysis (BARPA-R2/RE2) and a kilometre-scale downscaled reanalysis (BARRA-C2) over Australia and surrounding regions, spanning from January 1979 to present day. BARRA2 can be used for weather and climate research, case studies of past weather events, studying climate variability and developing climatology products, driving impact modelling (e.g., hydrological, coastal, and fire), evaluation and calibration of other modelling work (e.g., seasonal and climate projections). BARRA2 includes: BARRA-R2 (Regional Version 2) Product: BARRA-R2 is a moderate-resolution (12 km) regional atmospheric reanalysis over Australia and the surrounding regions including parts of southeast Asia and New Zealand. The dataset includes hourly, 3-hourly, daily and monthly data for temperature, moisture, wind and flux variables at sub-surface, surface, and pressure levels, and heights above surface. The vertical levels include 1000, 950, [...]

The Bureau of Meteorology high-resolution Regional Reanalysis for Australia (BARRA) is a high-resolution multi-decadal regional atmospheric reanalysis. The reanalysis provides information about surface conditions (such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, humidity, evaporation and soil moisture), information on multiple pressure and model levels, and information on solar radiation and cloud cover. The reanalysis suite is based on the Australian Community Climate Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS) and extends 70 levels (up to 80 km) into the atmosphere. It is nested within the required boundary and/or initial conditions provided by ERA-Interim reanalysis, Operational SST and Sea Ice Analysis, and the Bureau offline soil moisture reanalysis. The region covered by the reanalysis is the Australian continent, and the surrounding region including parts of southeast Asia, New Zealand, and south to the ice edge of the Antarctic continent. The suite contains 5 dataset[...]

BARPA Projections contains a moderate-resolution (BARPA-R) and a kilometre-scale (BARPA-C) regional climate projections over Australia and surrounding regions. The current collections are developed based on CMIP6 global climate projections. It consists of an ensemble of historical and future climate model fields. It can be used for climate research, impact modelling, developing climatology products, and future likelihood products, driving downstream impact modelling (e.g., hydrological, coastal, and fire), for case studies and stress testing of environments, infrastructure and assets under different future scenarios. BARPA includes: BARPA-R (Regional) Product: BARPA-R is a moderate-resolution (17 km) regional climate projections over Australia and the surrounding regions including parts of southeast Asia and New Zealand. The dataset includes hourly, 3-hourly, daily and monthly data for temperature, moisture, wind and flux variables at sub-surface, surface, and pressure lev[...]
