Meteorological hazard projections of forest fires in the Canary Islands

Results associated with the publication Projections of wildfire weather danger in the Canary Islands of the Earth and Atmosphere Observation (GOTA) group of the University of La Laguna (ULL) in the Canary Islands (Spain). Regionalized climate projections have been made for the Canary Islands, with a resolution of 3 km, using as contour conditions some of the results provided by the CMIP5 initiative (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project), and covering the recent past (1980-2009) and the future (2070-2099), under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). A dynamic downscaling technique has been applied using the WRF (Weather and Research and Forecasting) model guided by the results of three CMIP5 models (GFDL-ESM2M, IPSL-CM5A-MR and MIROC-ESM).
