Abstract
Canada-wide, statistically downscaled simulations of global climate models from the Sixth Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP6) have been made available for 26 models using a new multivariate approach and an improved observational target dataset. These new downscaled scenarios comprise daily simulations of precipitation, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature at 1/12° resolution across Canada. Simulations from each of the 26 downscaled global climate models span a historical period (1950–2014), and three future Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) representing low (SSP1 2.6), moderate (SSP2 4.5) and high (SSP5 8.5) future emissions from 2015 to 2100. Results from an evaluation of the multivariate downscaling method over Canada yield improved performance in replicating multivariate and compound climate indices compared to previously used univariate downscaling methods. This Multivariate Canadian Downscaled Climate Scenarios for CMIP6 (CanDCS-M6) dataset is intended to facilitate climate impacts assessments, hydrologic modelling, and analysis tools for presenting climate projections.

期刊介绍:
Geoscience Data Journal provides an Open Access platform where scientific data can be formally published, in a way that includes scientific peer-review. Thus the dataset creator attains full credit for their efforts, while also improving the scientific record, providing version control for the community and allowing major datasets to be fully described, cited and discovered.
An online-only journal, GDJ publishes short data papers cross-linked to – and citing – datasets that have been deposited in approved data centres and awarded DOIs. The journal will also accept articles on data services, and articles which support and inform data publishing best practices.
Data is at the heart of science and scientific endeavour. The curation of data and the science associated with it is as important as ever in our understanding of the changing earth system and thereby enabling us to make future predictions. Geoscience Data Journal is working with recognised Data Centres across the globe to develop the future strategy for data publication, the recognition of the value of data and the communication and exploitation of data to the wider science and stakeholder communities.
