HighResCoralStress - Folder structure There are 14 folders for the 14 statistically downscaled models: ACCESS-CM2, ACCESS-ESM1-5, BCC-CSM2-MR, CanESM5, CESM2-WACCM, CMCC-CM2-SR5, EC-Earth3, EC-Earth3-Veg, GFDL-CM4, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MRI-ESM2-0, NESM3, NorESM2-LM and NorESM2-MM. Within each model folder, there is a folder for each Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP). Statistically downscaled sea surface temperature (SST) is available for four SSPs: SSP1 2.6, SSP2 4.5, SSP3 7.0 and SSP5 8.5 Note: Only two SSPs are available for GFDL-CM4 (SSP2 4.5 and SSP5 8.5) and three SSPs for NESM3 (SSP1 2.6, SSP2 4.5 and SSP5 8.5). In each SSP folder, there are 12 NetCDF files (one for each coral reef region): Australia, Brazil, Caribbean, Coral Triangle, East Asia, East Pacific, Fiji, Hawaii, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Polynesia and Red Sea. The files vary in size depending on the number of coral reef pixels in the region. In each file, there are four variables: Latitude (lat, decimal degrees), longitude (lon, decimal degrees), time (time, days since 01-01-1985) and sea surface temperature (sst, degree Celsius). The following MATLAB 2020b code demonstrates how to read the NetCDF files: filepath = 'ACCESS-CM2/ssp126/HighResCoralStress_sst_ACCESS-CM2_ssp126_Australia_01011985_31122100_v2.0.nc'; ncdisp(filepath) lat = ncread(filepath,'lat'); lon = ncread(filepath,'lon'); t = ncread(filepath,'time'); sst = ncread(filepath,'sst'); In addition to the statistically downscaled projected SST from 1985-2100, the observed SST used to downscale the CMIP6 models is provided in the Observed folder. Observed SST is available for the period 1985-2019 for the 12 coral reef regions.
