Average projected sea surface temperatures from 2040 - 2049

These data provide average projected sea surface temperatures from 2040–2049. The datasets are provided in rcp45_decadal_mean.tif and rcp85_decadal_mean.tif. The documentation for both datasets is provided in the temperature_projections.txt file.

This dataset was produced to support Lavender, E., Fox, C. and Burrows, M. (in prep) Modelling the impacts of climate change on the abundance of shallow-water marine fish at a global scale.

However, the climate projections used in the manuscript were later revised.
