README Interpreting the Excel Files Data is provided for 4 different time periods: Historical Baseline (1971-2000), 2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100, for 2 different emissions scenarios: RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. For each time period, data is provided at the 25km resolution For each time period and emission scenario, data is summarized by the climate model that was used to derive them (note: for the RCP4.5 scenario, there are 3 models and for the RCP8.5 scenario, there are 16) CSV (Excel-compatible) files are available for TRCA watershed. Due to the size of the data, these have been broken down into emissions scenario and time period (e.g., RCP8.5 2070) within the excel file. Each CSV file can be read as follows: The columns contain each of the climate models, ensemble values, the 10th percentile, as well as the 90th percentile. Each column summarizes average values for a single climate model over the 30-year time period. Ensemble values represent the average across all models and have been bolded for easy reference. Column A represents each of the different climate parameters. Growing degree days has been further broken down to distinguish 0°C, 4°C, 5°C, 10°C and 15°C within column B. Year start is January 1 for all excel sheets PLEASE NOTE: Total Precipitation Values (I.e., annual precip, winter/spring/summer/fall precip) for the ensemble, 10th percentile and 90th are recorded in the summary tables as mm/day. In order to obtain the annual and seasonal values as mm/year, for annual average values please multiply the values by 365.25 (for annual). For seasonal values, multiply by 365.25, then divide by 4 Refer to the Summary table chart (word document) for the values
