Gridded downscaled climate data is made available for the Zambezi River Basin and for the Omo-Turkana Basin as part of the DAFNE project. Data are generated for the two basins using the AWE-GEN-2d model for the present period (1976-2005) and future period (2020-2099). The climate ensemble consists of 30 realizations and include the following climate variables: rainfall, near-surface air temperature, shortwave radiation, cloud cover, relative humidity and near-surface wind speed. The future simulations are following the multi-model mean of 22-26 climate models dervied from the Africa-CORDEX initiative. RCP4.5 is simulated for both catchments, and in addition RCP8.5 is simulated for the Omo-Turkana basin.
