Projected bioclimatic variables

Projected bioclimatic variables#

This section contains the projected bioclimatic variables, calculated from an ensemble of dynamically downscaled models from the Southeast Asia Regional Climate Downscaling/Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment-Southeast Asia (CORDEX–SEA)(Tangang et al., 2022), shown in the table below. The ensemble data and projections underwent regridding from 0.22° x 0.22° to 0.1° x 0.1° to align with the ERA5-LAND grid, before undergoing Quantile Delta Mapping (Cannon et al., 2015), grouped by month and separated into 100 quantiles. Temperature variables underwent additive adjustment, while precipitation underwent multiplicative adjustment and frequency adaption to address dry day imbalances.
