The NASA Earth Exchange (NEX) Downscaled Climate Projections (NEX-DCP30) dataset is comprised of downscaled climate scenarios for the conterminous United States that are derived from the General Circulation Model (GCM) runs conducted under the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) [Taylor et al. 2012] and across the four greenhouse gas emissions scenarios known as Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) [Meinshausen et al. 2011] developed for the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5).
Anyone still awake?
The USGS create the very comprehensive interactive NEX-DCP30 Viewer with maps, graphs, downloadable data tables, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. I suppose the complexity of the issue and the data requires such a complex viewer, but anything that requires studying a (well-designed) tutorial first is probably not going to be all that popular...
