- Statement
- This dataset was derived from the United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) Regional Projections on a 12km grid over the UK for 1980-2080 (https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/589211abeb844070a95d061c8cc7f604, v20190731, v20190731), which is a twelve member perturbed parameter ensemble of climate model projections for representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenario RCP8.5. The daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) was calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation parameterised for a well-watered grass surface. The daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1), was calculated as PET then a correction added for interception by a grass canopy on days with non-zero precipitation. The UKCP18 meteorological variables used were daily mean values of: specific humidity at 1.5 m (kg kg-1); sea level pressure (hPa); net surface long wave flux (W m-2); net surface short wave flux (W m-2); wind speed at 10 m (m s-1); air temperature at 1.5 m (degC); precipitation (mm d-1; used for PETI only). Other variables used were the surface elevation (m; https://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/ukcp18/data/land-rcm/ancil/orog), atmospheric CO2 concentrations (ppmv), and land-sea mask that were used when running the climate model. A description of the methodology is available in the supporting documentation.
