Ouranos ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0.0 dataset

In this file, the details of the dataset is explained.

Location of Dataset Files

The ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0.0 dataset is located under the following directory accessible from Compute Canada (CC) Graham Cluster:

/project/rpp-kshook/Climate_Forcing_Data/meteorological-data/ouranos-espo-g6-r2 # rpp-kshook allocation
/project/rrg-mclark/data/meteorological-data/ouranos-espo-g6-r2 # rrg-mclark allocation

and the structure of the dataset hourly files is as following:

Coordinate Variables and Time-stamps

Coordinate Variables

The coordinate variables of the ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0.0 simulations are rlon and rlat representing the longitude and latitude points, respectively.

Time-stamps

The time-stamps are included in the original files.

Dataset Variables

The NetCDF files of the dataset contain one variable per file. You may see a list of variables by browsing the dataset files:

foo@bar:~$ ls /project/rrg-mclark/data/meteorological-data/ouranos-espo-g6-r2/ESPO-G6-R2v1.0.0/AS-RCEC/TaiESM1/ssp245/r1i1p1f1/day

Spatial Extent

The spatial extent of the ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0.0 is on latitutes from +5.75 to +83.98 and longitudes from -179.9925 to 179.9728 covering North America. The resolution is 0.09 degrees (~10km).

Temporal Extent

The time-stamps are already included in the original files. The dataset offers daily time-series of climate variables. The following table describes the temporal extent for senarios included in this dataset:

# Scenarios (keyword for --scenario) Temporal extent
1 ssp245 2015-01-01 to 2100-12-31
2 ssp370 2015-01-01 to 2100-12-31
3 ssp585 2015-01-01 to 2100-12-31

Short Description on ESPO-G6-R2 v1.0.0 Variables

This dataset only offers three climate variables: 1) daily precipitation time-series (surface level), 2) daily minimum temperature time-series (@2m, near-surface level), and 3) daily maximum temperature time-series (@2m, near-surface level). Since the frequency of this dataset is daily, and only offers precipitation and temperature values, therefore, it could be potentially used for forcing conceptual hydrological models that only need daily time-series of these variables.

The table below, summarizes the variables offered by this dataset:

Variable Name Variable (keyword for --variable) Unit IPCC Abbreviation Comments
maximum temperature tasmax K tasmax near-surface 2m height
minimum temperature tasmin K tasmin near-surface 2m height
preciptiation pr kg m-2 s-1 pr surface level
