NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/eb5d9dc4-13bb-44c7-9bf8-c5980fcf52a4 Gridded potential evapotranspiration calculated from United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) regional climate model (RCM) ensemble at 12 km resolution over the United Kingdom for the years 1980-2080 under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. This dataset contains two potential evapotranspiration variables: daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) and daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1). PET and PETI were calculated for each member of the UKCP18 RCM perturbed parameter ensemble. The units kg m-2 d-1 are equivalent to mm d-1. The data are provided in gridded netCDF files. There is one file for each variable, for each ensemble member, for each decade.

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.
