CORDEX are pleased to announce that a subset of the Euro-CORDEX simulations (EUR-11 and EUR-44), bias-adjusted by several different methods, are now openly available on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) under the CORDEX-Adjust Project. Currently the bias-adjusted daily data for min/mean/max temperature and precipitation are available. All ESGF CORDEX users can access the bias-adjusted CORDEX RCM data under the general CORDEX terms of use (unrestricted or non-commercial). Information on bias-adjusted methods and on how to access the bias-adjusted CORDEX simulations can be found under bias-adjusted RCM data on the CORDEX website. For all groups interested in submitting CORDEX simulations bias-adjusted by their bias-adjustment methods there are step-by-step instructions on the CORDEX website.
This subset of bias-adjusted Euro-CORDEX simulations is a first step. At moment not all Euro-CORDEX simulations are bias-adjusted but work on expanding and filling the bias-adjusted Euro-CORDEX matrix is ongoing. It is also expected that bias-adjusted CORDEX simulations for other CORDEX domains will be made available in the coming months.
CORDEX would like to thank all projects and individual institutions contributing to the first release of bias-adjusted CORDEX simulations, in particular:
