Introduction
SIRMA project aims to develop, validate and implement a robust framework for the efficient management and mitigation of natural hazards in terrestrial transportation modes in the Atlantic Area, which consider both road and railway infrastructure networks. Within WP4, a freely available database of climate change indicators is provided. The database could be used by other research institutions or enterprises for estimating the vulnerability/consequences on transportation infrastructure at different Atlantic regions in France, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and UK. The database was downloaded from Copernicus Climate Change Service and Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (ESGF@DOE/LLNL). The database encompasses several variables precisely chosen to distinctly define the extreme events in the European countries alongside 5 locations in Atlantic Ocean and cover a time series of up to 2100, several global circulation models and various climate change scenarios.
