To provide a representation of the exposure indicators derived from the model Hydrological Predictions for the Environment (HYPE) in the Middle East and North Africa Region, for the reference period 1986-2005.
In the context of climate change, exposure refers to changes in climate parameters that might affect socio-ecological systems. Using on the open-source hydrological model HYPE and bias-corrected Regional Climate Models (RCM) results as inputs, the Regional Hydrological Model (RHM) ensemble is employed to assess hydrological change based on future climate projections.
GeoTIFF representing the exposure indicators derived from the model Hydrological Predictions for the Environment (HYPE). Available at approximately 1km pixel resolution, for future time periods; Near, Mid and End-century, the raster grids are generated for moderate and high representative concentration pathways (RCPs), emission scenarios developed by the IPCC for informing global and regional climate modelling work (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Grid pixel values are classified according to a level of exposure (1 to 10), for the indicators, Evapotranspiration and Runoff. The adopted time periods are: Near-Century (2016-2035); Mid-Century (2046-2065); End-Century (2081-2100).
