HiCPC: A new 10-km CMIP6 downscaled daily climate projections over China.

ABSTRACT: Accurate climate projections are critical for various applications and impact assessments in environmental science and management. This study presents HiCPC (High-resolution CMIP6 downscaled daily Climate Projections over China), a novel dataset tailored to China's specific needs. HiCPC leverages outputs from 22 global climate models (GCMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). To address inherent biases in daily GCM simulations, an advanced Bias Correction and Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) method is employed, using the China Meteorological Forcing Dataset (CMFD) as a reference. HiCPC offers detailed daily precipitation and temperature data across China at an enhanced spatial resolution of 0.1° × 0.1°. It covers both the historical period (1979-2014) and future pr
