Solar radiation climate projections for the Canary Islands

Results associated with the publication Climate change impact on future photovoltaic resource potential in an orographically complex archipielago, the Canary Islands of the Earth and Atmosphere Observation (GOTA) group of the University of La Laguna (ULL) in the Canary Islands (Spain). WRF version 3.4.1 has been used to perform a dynamic regionalization of the climate of the Canary archipelago, using the pseudo-global warming method (PGW) to calculate the initial and boundary conditions from a reanalysis data set and 14 global climate models. The simulations have been performed for three decades, one in the present (1995-2004) and two in the future (2045-2054 and 2090-2099), and for two different greenhouse gas scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5).
