Table A.1.
The ten simulations used in this study from Regional Climate Models (RCMs) driven by different Coupled Global Climate Models (GCMs). The simulations use the two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). This South American climate data was obtained from the CORDEX-SAM44 database (CORDEX-SAM44, n.d.). All RCMs use a grid at around 0.44° of horizontal resolution.
