These are non-exclusive grouping of CMIP variables (e.g. monthly time slices of the baseline variables). Variables can belong to more than one group.

| justification | Specifically for wind projects, projections of wind gust and frost conditions in a future climate are needed as they are required for site suitability studies in the first case and to estimate icing losses on the turbine blades, in the second. For solar PV, an analogue estimation of surface wind gust and hail events in a warmer climate can be of great value. Under the event of severe gusts or hail, PV panels are stowed in a safer position which can lead to production losses. Similar data also likely to be relevant to other aspects of energy system (e.g., transmission lines, nuclear power plant safety etc). |
