We are pleased to announce that a new dataset has been published in the Climate Data Store (CDS):

Climate extreme indices and heat stress indicators derived from CMIP6 global climate projections

The dataset provides climate extreme indices related to temperature and precipitation as defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI), as well as selected heat stress indicators (HSI). The indices are provided for historical and future climate projections (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5) included in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and used in the 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

This dataset may now be downloaded from the Climate Data Store either interactively using the CDS web interface ("Download data") or programmatically using the CDS API service. The dataset is also CDS Toolbox compatible.

For any enquiries regarding this dataset, please contact us.
