description: This is the overview file for the bias-adjusted and spatially disaggregated climate simulation ensemble created within the HICAM project. Simulations from EURO-CORDEX (Jacob et al, 2014) and Reklies-DE (Hübener et al, 2017) were used. The mesoscale hydrological model (mHM, https://mhm-ufz.org/) was forced with the climate simulations at a spatial resolution of 0.015625 deg to create hydrological states and fluxes at a high resolution.

The look up table (LUT) includes the following information:

met_id = simulation run identifier
EUR-11 = native spatial Resolution
inst = institution of the GCM model
gcm = global circulation model
rcp = representative concentration pathway (emission scenario)
realization = initial condition
inst.rcm = institution and regional climate model
info = bias-adjustment and spatial disaggregation method
1p5start = start year of 1.5 degree warming period (30 years)
1p5end = end year of 1.5 deg warming period (30 years)
...
QC = indicating if model runs were rejected due to quality control issues, further explanation below.


QC:
DWD indicates that German Weather Services withdraw the runs. Here from the RCM DMI-HIRHAM5 (national scale)
Reklies-DE indicates that the runs were rejected within the Reklies-DE project (national scale)
MKE indicates that runs were rejected for the formation of the central german ensemble (Mitteldeutsches Kernensemble) (regional scale)
LfU indicates that runs were rejected by Bavarian study (regional scale)
