Projected number of extreme heatwaves (2068-2100; RCP 8.5; number in 33 years), Jul. 2015

The gridded dataset presents the median of the projected number of extreme heatwaves in the future (2068–2100) in Europe, following the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 scenario. The dataset is one of the multimodel ensemble used to project future occurrence and severity of heat waves under different RCP, which were adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).

The dataset is one of the output of the JRC “Number of heat waves” data described here: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2014JD022098

The dataset has been used as a source for the EEA indicator “Global and European temperature”: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/global-and-european-temperature-8/assessment, which in the meantime has been updated .

      Details about this dataset multimodel ensemble are available in: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2014JD022098.

      The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 is described by Taylor et al. (An overview of CMIP5 and the experiment design, 2012. Bull. Am. Meteorol. Soc., 93, 485–498) as corresponding to the rising radiative forcing reaching a level of about 8,5 W/m² by the end of the 21st century.
