Annual ETCCDI Extreme Indices For ICON-Sapphire And IFS-FESOM (nextGEMS Cycle 4)

DOI

ETCCDI indices calculated from two km-scale global models developed within the nextGEMS project (https://nextgems-h2020.eu/): ICON-Sapphire (Hohenegger et al. 2023) and IFS-FESOM (Rackow et al. 2025). The indices are based on the 30-year production simulations of nextGEMS, cycle 4 with a spatial resolution of about 10km (Segura et al. 2025). Here, we provide them in the 29-year period 2021-2049 (as the first year, 2020, is incomplete for IFS), driven by the high-emission pathway SSP3-7.0. The original data and the derived indices are available on the unstructured HEALPix grid (Górski et al. 2005). HEALPix organises data at discrete resolutions or zoom levels. Here, the highest resolved zoom level 9 (about 13km grid spacing corresponding to about 3 million grid cells globally) and the intermediate (“CMIP6-like”) zoom level 6 (about 102km, 50’000 grid cells) are provided.

                The data were processed by Lukas Brunner (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5760-4524), using a Climate Data Operators (https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/embedded/index.html) implementation of the ETCCID indices: code on GitHub (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15582463). 
                Time-mean plots of all indices are available on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15613611
