Comparison of CMIP6 and CMIP5 datasets

[Pouriya-J]

We examined the differences between CMIP5 and CMIP6 for Canada. The ensemble percentile (10th, 90th, and median) from both experiments were evaluated for indices that were calculated from daily precipitation and temperature. The following indices that were similar between CMIP5 and CMIP6 were selected for the comparison, ensuring that we were comparing things that could reasonably be compared.

• Mean: Tropical nights (days with tmin > 20C), Days with tmax > 25 (summer days), Wetdays > 10 mm, Wetdays > 1 mm, Wetdays > 20 mm, Frost_days, Ice_days

• Max: Maximum of daily tmax, Maximum of daily tmin, Maximum number of consecutive dry days (RR < 1 mm), Max 1 day precip amount

• Min: Minimum of daily tmin, Minimum of daily tmax

Hey @Pouriya-J can you add link here to the full set of figures on the collab server?
