5 historical and future trajectories of wind speed for Europe under no greenhouse gas mitigation policy, also called “Business-as-usual” scenario. Time-series are monthly from 1951 to 2100.
European countries in this data set are Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and Ukraine.
The 5 trajectories are a sub-set of 23 trajectories from IPCC models, under no greenhouse gas mitigation policy, also called “Business-as-usual” scenario and from models that provided all 6 parameters (min max and mean temperature, precipitation, surface wind and solar radiation). The sub-set selection is based on identifying trajectories that show the highest and lowest 30 year averages at the end of the century:
1. highest temperature
2. lowest temperature
3. highest rainfall
4. lowest rainfall
5. closest value to the mean of temperature and rainfall
File format is netCDF. One file per trajectory (i.e., 5 files per country). Each netCDF file contains gridded data at a 0.5° x 0.5° resolution (~ 50km x 50km).
Data are downscaled and quality controlled ([see technical documentation](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322888233_Bias_Adjusting_Climate_Model_Projections)).
