[{"name":"zignol-2024-sw-ethiopia-microclimate-1","title":"Maps of past and simulated future microclimate in forests and agroforests in southwestern Ethiopia, 1979\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u20602100","summary":"The dataset contains high spatial resolution maps showing monthly and annual averages of daily maximum temperature, daily minimum temperature, and daily mean relative humidity for the Jimma zone in southwestern Ethiopia. The maps were created by using statistical downscaling applied to widely used reanalysis data for the period 1979\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u20602020 and climate projections from a combination of different global climate models (GCMs) and scenarios (SSPs; Shared Socioeconomic Pathways) for the period 2021\u2060\u200a\u2013\u200a\u20602100.\r\n\r\nThe aim of creating the dataset was to investigate how climate change affects the understory microclimate in forests and agroforests, which can help develop sustainable and climate-smart farms and landscape-level adaptations within coffee agroforestry systems. Results obtained from analyses of the maps are discussed in a published case study of Arabica coffee in its native range.\r\n\r\nThe dataset includes 42,198 maps in GeoTIFF format, covering an area of about 67\u00d750 km at a spatial resolution of 30\u00d730 m. The full set of maps, as well as specific subsets of the maps, can be downloaded here. Moreover, the map content is shown in an interactive graphical presentation where the user can select a desired climate variable, scenario, and model, and see how the climate changes with time.","citations":"Hersbach, H., Bell, B., Berrisford, P., Hirahara, S., Hor\u00e1nyi, A., Mu\u00f1oz-Sabater, J., Nicolas, J., Peubey, C., Radu, R., Schepers, D., Simmons, A., Soci, C., Abdalla, S., Abellan, X., Balsamo, G., Bechtold, P., Biavati, G., Bidlot, J., Bonavita, M., De Chiara, G., Dahlgren, P., Dee, D., Diamantakis, M., Dragani, R., Flemming, J., Forbes, R., Fuentes, M., Geer, A., Haimberger, L., Healy, S., Hogan, R.J., H\u00f3lm, E., Janiskov\u00e1, M., Keeley, S., Laloyaux, P., Lopez, P., Lupu, C., Radnoti, G., de Rosnay, P., Rozum, I., Vamborg, F., Villaume, S., Th\u00e9paut, J.-N., 2020.

The title of the paper was *The understory microclimate in agroforestry now and in the future \u2013 a case study of Arabica coffee in its native range*.\r\n\r\nThe aim of this paper was to investigate how climate change affects the understory microclimate in forests and agroforests, which can help develop sustainable and climate-smart farms and landscape-level adaptations within coffee agroforestry systems.\r\n\r\nWhile the paper was a major scientific advance, we could only show a small subset of the data and in poor resolution. To ensure that the full data set is published and available to the scientific community and local stakeholders in Ethiopia, we provide all maps for download here. Moreover, we also provide an interactive visualization of microclimate changes that is informative in itself and complement the paper in illustrating the projected changes across this landscape.\r\n\r\n##### GeoTIFF files\r\nThe GeoTIFF (`.tif`) files are useful for the visualization of a certain climate variable under a certain scenario and can be used in GIS-environments for other future studies.\r\n\r\n##### JPEG image files\r\nThe associated interactive graphical presentation of the map content shows JPEG image files, with one unique `.jpg` file corresponding to each unique `.tif` file. All `.jpg` files for one specific climate variable have the same colour scheme, which is explained below the graphical presentation. Individual JPEG image files can be downloaded from the graphical presentation. Select a desired image and use your browser's standard way to save an image file.","category":"Terrestrial","subcategory":"Model simulations","keywords":"Microclimate; Temperature; Humidity; Southwestern Ethiopia; Jimma; ERA5 data; GCM and emission scenarios; Predictions; Agroforestry; Climate change; Forest understory; Statistical downscaling","scientist":"Francesco Zignol, Erik Kjellstr\u00f6m, Kristoffer Hylander, Biruk Ayalew, Beyene Zewdie, Alejandro Rodr\u00edguez-Gij\u00f3n, Ayco J.
