Visualization and Analysis of CMIP6 Hydroclimatic Data

CMIP6VisR facilitates the use of the bias-corrected dataset for CMIP6 projections of daily average temperature and total precipitation, SPQM-CMIP6-CAN (Abdelmoaty et al., 2025 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-04396-z). This dataset is designed for operational applications, preserving key statistical properties, including observed marginal properties, trends, and variability while enabling a smooth transition from historical observations to future projections. The package allows users to identify the relevant data files covering their target region or basin. Additionally, it provides grid area information and enables the estimation of area-weighted average precipitation time series derived from the bias-corrected product.
