Gridded potential evapotranspiration calculated from United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) regional climate model (RCM) ensemble at 12 km resolution over the United Kingdom for the years 1980-2080 under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. This dataset contains two potential evapotranspiration variables: daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) and daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1). PET and PETI were calculated for each member of the UKCP18 RCM perturbed parameter ensemble. The units kg m-2 d-1 are equivalent to mm d-1. The data are provided in gridded netCDF files. There is one file for each variable, for each ensemble member, for each decade. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/eb5d9dc4-13bb-44c7-9bf8-c5980fcf52a4

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services

This dataset was derived from the United Kingdom Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) Regional Projections on a 12km grid over the UK for 1980-2080 (https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/589211abeb844070a95d061c8cc7f604, v20190731, v20190731), which is a twelve member perturbed parameter ensemble of climate model projections for representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenario RCP8.5. The daily total potential evapotranspiration (PET; kg m-2 d-1) was calculated using the Penman-Monteith equation parameterised for a well-watered grass surface. The daily total potential evapotranspiration with interception correction (PETI; kg m-2 d-1), was calculated as PET then a correction added for interception by a grass canopy on days with non-zero precipitation. The UKCP18 meteorological variables used were daily mean values of: specific humidity at 1.5 m (kg kg-1); sea level pressure (hPa); net surface long wave flux (W m-2); net surface short wave flux (W m-2); wind speed at 10 m (m s-1); air temperature at 1.5 m (degC); precipitation (mm d-1; used for PETI only). Other variables used were the surface elevation (m; https://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/ukcp18/data/land-rcm/ancil/orog), atmospheric CO2 concentrations (ppmv), and land-sea mask that were used when running the climate model. A description of the methodology is available in the supporting documentation.
