Summary

This dataset consists of monthly spatial patterns of meteorological change for 34 Global Circulation Models (GCMs). The patterns are a set of regression coefficients, each representing the change per degree of mean global warming over land, for the corresponding meteorological variable. The meteorological variables analysed for each GCM include: surface temperature change per degree global warming (K K-1); surface relative humidity change per degree global warming (percentage of K-1); wind change per degree global warming (m s-1 K-1); longwave change per degree global warming (W m-2 K 1); shortwave change per degree global warming (W m-2 K-1); precipitation change per degree global warming (mm day-1 K-1) and pressure change per degree global warming (hPa K-1). The supporting information document associated with this metadata includes parameters for an energy balance model (IMOGEN EBM) that calculates the amount of global warming. Each GCM output has been re-mapped on to UKMO-HadCM3 grid, with resolution of 3.75° longitude and 2.5° latitude; this produces a surface spatial resolution of about 417 km E-W x 278 km N-S, reducing to 295 km E-W x 278 km N-S at 45° North and South. This corresponds to 1631 land points, each of which has a row in the provided data files. The data presented here is calibration of IMOGEN EBM parameters and patterns against 34 GCMs in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) GCM ensemble. Further information about the dataset and its derivation can be found in Comyn-Platt, E. et al. (in press). Carbon budgets for 1.5 and 2°C targets lowered by natural wetland and permafrost feedbacks.
