Projected number of extreme heatwaves (2020-2052; RCP 8.5; number in 33 years), Jul. 2015
Description
The raster dataset presents the median of the projected number of extreme heatwaves in the near future (2020–2052) in Europe, following the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 scenario. The dataset is one of the multimodel ensemble used to project future occurrence and severity of heat waves under different RCP, which were adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
The dataset is one of the output of the JRC “Number of heat waves” data described here: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2014JD022098.
The dataset has been used as a source for the EEA indicator “Global and European temperature”: https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/global-and-european-temperature-8/assessment, which in the meantime has been already updated.
