The climate scenarios simulated, as characterized by mean annual temperature (Tmean) and precipitation sum (Prec) for the landscape over the 190 year simulation period
| Climate scenario | Tmean (°C) | σT (°C) | Prec (mm) | σPrec (mm) | Number of storm events |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Historic (1980–2010) | 8.6 | 7.9–9.6 | 794 | 639–943 | 20 |
| Moderate (EC-EARTH and KNMI-RACMO22E RCP4.5) | 10.4 | 9.6–11.4 | 835 | 674–986 | 20 |
| Warm (EC-EARTH and KNMI-RACMO22E RCP8.5) | 11.9 | 11.1–12.8 | 812 | 660–955 | 12 |
| Warm and wet (IPSL-CM5A-MR and IPSL-INERIS-WRF331F RCP8.5) | 11.7 | 10.9–12.6 | 933 | 761–1112 | 26 |
| Hot and dry (HadGEM2-ES and CLMcom-CCLM4-8-17 RCP8.5) | 12.8 | 12.0–13.8 | 645 | 528–771 | 11 |
Within-landscape variation of temperature (σT) and precipitation (σPrec) are indicated as the min-max range on the landscape. The total number of storm events was derived from climate model data (with GCM-RCM combinations and representative concentration pathways in parenthesis) using a maximum gust wind speed cutoff of 33.3 m s−1
