ETCCDI Indices for MPI Grand Ensemble

Project: Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” - CLICCS will explore climate change with broad expertise. CLICCS will investigate how the climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. Understanding these changes, including how societies adapt, will enable us to assess with far greater confidence than before the range of imaginable climate futures. In taking on this challenge, CLICCS is guided by the overarching question: "Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible?"

Contribution to the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) of Universität Hamburg. Summary: This dataset provides the set of 26 core indices recommended by the ETCCDI (https://etccdi.pacificclimate.org/list_27_indices.shtml) calculated on the 50-member Max Planck Institute Grand Ensemble (MPI-GE) (Olonscheck et al. 2023) for the historical 1850-2014 period. The MPI-GE is the large ensemble of the MPI Earth System Model version 1.2 in the low-resolution configuration (approximately 1.8° horizontal resolution) (Mauritsen et al. 2019) and uses CMIP6 external forcings (Eyring et al. 2016). The indices are calculated from daily minimum, mean, and maximum temperature as well as from daily precipitation and provided at monthly or yearly temporal resolution, depending on the index, and at native spatial resolution.
