7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
We reproduced a P-level three dimensional data with 17 layers under the histrical, 2K & 4K warming
climate based on the pre-industrial period, using the original of d4PDF 20km resolution data
(http://search.diasjp.net/ja/dataset/d4PDF_RCM).

9. DATA REMARKS
10. DATA POLICY
10.1 Data Policy by the Data Provider
DATA RELEASE POLICY OF DATABASE FOR POLICY DECISION MAKING FOR FUTURE CLIMATE CHANGE (d4PDF)
The database called d4PDF (database for Policy Decision making for Future climate change) wasproduced by the joint project of Meteorological Research Institute of Japan Meteorological Agency,
Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute of University of Tokyo, Disaster Prevention ResearchInstitute of Kyoto University, National Institute of Environmental Study, Japan Agency for MarineEarth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), and University of Tsukuba, under the support of the Programfor Risk Information on Climate Change (SOUSEI, FY2012-2016), the Social Implementation Programon Climate Change Adaptation Technology (SI-CAT, FY2015-2019), Integrated Research Program for
Advancing Climate Models (TOUGOU, FY2017-2021), and the Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS),
funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
The Earth Simulator was used for building up the database under "Strategic Project with Special
Support" of JAMSTEC. Users can access d4PDF via the data server maintained by DIAS.
Terms and Conditions
1. Individual users must register their name, affiliation, email-address and purpose of use before
access to the database will be permitted.
2. Individual users should not redistribute the data to any third party.
3. The source of the database should be duly acknowledged in scientific and technical papers,
publications, press releases and other communications in case of using the data.
Example:This study used the database for policy decision making for future climate change (d4PDF) which wasproduced with the Earth Simulator under corporations among science programs (SOUSEI, TOUGOU, SI-CAT,DIAS) sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan.
4. Individual users provide the joint project members (email to d4pdf-support@jamstec.go.jp) a copyof their scientific or technical papers, publications, press releases or other communications incase of using the data (recommended).
Disclaimer
The joint project members are not responsible for any damage that may result from their use.

Intellectual property
The intellectual property rights of the database belong exclusively to the joint project members.

10.2 Data Policy by the Project
10.2.1 Data Integration and Analysis System
If data provider does not have data policy, DIAS Terms of Service (https://diasjp.net/en/terms/)
and DIAS Privacy Policy (https://diasjp.net/en/privacy/) apply.
If there is a conflict between DIAS Terms of Service and data provider's policy, the data provider'spolicy shall prevail.

11. LICENSE
12. DATA SOURCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
12.1 Acknowledge the Data Provider
