<idPurp>Projected 95th percentile of 10-m wind speed over Mecca for 2015-2100</idPurp>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This raster layer shows the projected 95th percentile of 10-m wind speed over Mecca for 2015–2100 under SSP2-4.5. The input data were derived from the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 multi-model ensemble, bias-corrected against ERA5 wind data, clipped to the study area, and processed to calculate the future upper-tail wind-speed condition at each grid cell. The p95 metric is used to represent high-wind conditions that are more relevant to sand mobilization than mean wind speed. This layer supports evaluation of future threshold exceedance, increased aeolian transport potential, dune mobility, and sand encroachment vulnerability.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
