COIN2 (COst of INaction 2) aims to quantify the future costs of not mitigating climate change, that would specifically affect Austria. To that end bias-corrected and down-scaled climate projections from the EURO-CORDEX ensemble are used to generate input data for a diverse set of impact models, spanning sectors from forestry and agriculture, health, water supply, tourism, etc.

From the original ÖKS15 (https://doi.org/10.60669/b37q-jd39) datasets:

SDM_ICHEC-EC-EARTH_rcp45_r1i1p1_KNMI-RACMO22E, SDM_ICHEC-EC-EARTH_rcp85_r1i1p1_KNMI-RACMO22E, SDM_IPSL-IPSL-CM5A-MR_rcp85_r1i1p1_IPSL-INERIS-WRF331F and SDM_MOHC-HadGEM2-ES_rcp85_r1i1p1_CLMcom-CCLM4-8-17,

mean daily temperature (tas) and from the DISCC-AT (https://doi.org/10.60669/gbdv-gq54) mean daily dewpoint temperature (td) datasets were used to calculate the daily Vapor Pressure Deficit (vpd) via the saturation vapor pressure (e_s):

e_s = 6.1078 * exp( (17.269 * tas) / (237.3 + tas) ),

via the Relative Humidty (RH):

RH = 100 * [ exp(17.625 * td / (243.04 + td)) / exp(17.625 * tas / (243.04 + tas)) ]

and via:

VPD = e_s * (1 - RH/100)
