(1) This is the dataset simulated by high resolution atmospheric global climate model (AGCM) of which horizontal resolution is 20km-mesh. The dataset consists of the present climate (25 years) and the future climate (4 members over the end of the 21st century under the RCP8.5 and RCP2.6 scenario: 25 years each).

(2) High resolution simulations enable to estimate the future change of extreme events, such as typhoons and localized torrential downpours, with high accuracy.

(3) This dataset provides the climate projections which adaptations against global warming are based on in various fields, for example, disaster prevention, urban planning, environmetal protection, and so on. It would realize the global warming adaptations consistent not only among issues but also among regions.

This dataset was produced by Meteorological Research Institute of Japan Meteorological Agency, under the support of the Program for Risk Information on Climate Change (SOUSEI, FY2012-2016) and the Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS), funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The Earth Simulator was used for building up the dataset. Users can access the dataset via the data server maintained by DIAS.

Terms and Conditions:

1. Individual users must register their name, affiliation, email-address and purpose of use before access to the database will be permitted.

2. Individual users should not redistribute the data to any third party.

3. The source of the database should be duly acknowledged in scientific and technical papers, publications, press releases and other communications in case of using the data.

Example:

This study used data produced with the Earth Simulator by the Program for Risk Information on Climate Change (SOUSEI) from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan.
