Future-projected One-day PMP dataset across India based on CMIP6
Description
This multi-model multi-scenario dataset presents high-resolution (0.25° latitude x 0.25° longitude) one-day Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimates across Indian mainland ocer the future (2021-2100). Towards this, a total of 14 state-of-the-art General Circulation Models (GCMs), participating in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project version 6 (CMIP6) are considered, following two possible emission scenarios (SSP 245 and SSP 585). These estimates are determined following the research article entitled “Increase in Probable Maximum Precipitation in a Changing Climate over India," published in Journal of Hydrology by Sarkar and Maity (2020). It is worthwhile to mention here that, this future projection is done after suitably correcting the inherent bias present in the simulated output from the GCMs. We expect, this future-projected PMP dataset will serve as an important information for the design engineers and hydro-meteorologists for planning and designing various water-energy infrastructures such as dams and other major water resources engineering applications.
