Abstract:

This dataset will contain downscaled North Atlantic tropical cyclone tracks and their accompanying hazards – specifically winds, precipitation, and storm surges – from 12 global climate models that participated in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6. The dataset will cover two distinct periods: a historical simulation from 1950 to 2014 and future climate projections from 2015 to 2100 under three future Shared Socio-economic Pathways, i.e., SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5.
