Projected changes in heavy precipitation in winter (from 1971-2000 to 2071-2100; RCP 8.5; in percentage), Sep. 2014
This gridded dataset presents the projected changes (in percentage) in heavy precipitation in winter season (December, January, February) in Europe, from 1971-2000 to 2071–2100 for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 scenario, based on the ensemble mean of different Regional Climate Models (RCMs) nested in different General Circulation Models (GCMs).
This dataset is an output of the EURO-CORDEX data, produced in the context of the EURO-CORDEX initiative. EURO-CORDEX is the European branch of the CORDEX initiative, producing ensemble climate simulations based on multiple dynamical and empirical-statistical downscaling models forced by multiple global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). More information about this initiative on: https://www.euro-cordex.net/060374/index.php.en.
The dataset has been used in the EEA Indicator "Heavy precipitation in Europe": https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/precipitation-extremes-in-europe-3/assessment, which in the meantime has been updated .

The projected changes in heavy precipitation (in percentage) in winter (December, January, February) have been calculated from EURO-CORDEX data: “Climate change projections for Europe based on an ensemble of regional climate model simulations provided by the EURO-CORDEX initiative” for the RCP8.5 Scenario.
The CORDEX regional climate model (RCM) simulations for the European domain (EURO-CORDEX) are conducted at two different spatial resolutions, the general CORDEX resolution of 0.44 degree (EUR-44, ~50 km) and additionally the finer resolution of 0.11 degree (EUR-11, ~12.5km), the latter being the one used in this dataset. Further information is available at: https://www.euro-cordex.net/060378/index.php.en.
The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios, as described by Moss et al. (2008 “Towards New Scenarios for Analysis of Emissions, Climate Change Impacts, and Response Strategies”. Technical Summary. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Geneva, 25 pp), are the most recent, developed for the last IPCC Assessment Report (AR5) using integrated assessment modelling, climate modelling and impact modelling.
