The simulations show mean temperature increases of 2.5 &ordm;C by the mid-21st-century and 4.2 &ordm;C by the end of the century in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, a Mediterranean region in northeastern Spain.</p> <p>This Zenodo repository contains the following:</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>met_em initial and boundary conditions for the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona</strong>:<br><code>met_em</code> files including the initial and boundary conditions used for modeling a historical heatwave (2020), as well as projected PGW-MID (2070) and PGW-END (2100) periods.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>wrfout_d03, model output</strong>:<br>WRF output at 1 km resolution for the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona on <strong>August 1st, 2020</strong> (a historical heatwave day), representing the historical, mid-century (2070), and end-of-century (2100) periods.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>PGW composites</strong>:<br>NetCDF-format plots of <strong>relative humidity (RH)</strong> and <strong>temperature (T)</strong> maximum and minimum values.
