This dataset contains the variable Qrouted from the representative concentration pathway rcp8p5 forcing the hydrological model mhm with meteorological data from the Global Circulation Model GFDL-ESM2M. The warming levels 1.5, 2 and 3 °C were either reached in different time periods or not reached by the respective RCP (see global attribute warming_periods_[1.5, 2.0, 3.0]K).
