Subdaily Precipitation Extremes in the EURO-CORDEX 0.11° Ensemble (Version 2)

Annual maxima of sub-daily precipitation were extracted from each of 35 members of a EURO-CORDEX ensemble with a spatial resolution of 0.11° (EURO-CORDEX: https://www.euro-cordex.net/). Precipitation durations range from 1 to 72 hours. Regional Climate Models (RCMs) involved are: ALADIN63,COSMO, HadREM3, RCA4, RegCM4-6, and REMO2015. For each member, we considered both historical (1950-2005) and future (2006-2100) RCP8.5 scenarios. Simulations of four RCMs (out of a total of six) are also available for the past, with imposed “perfect” lateral boundary conditions following ERA-Interim reanalyses (1979-2019).

In EURO-CORDEX, different RCMs can have (slightly) different grids and some RCMs (e.g. ALADIN63 and RegCM4-6) have a much different domain. For each RCM the correct bounds are given in the corresponding dataset. In contrast, the bounds given in the Experiment are smaller and can be found on the EURO-CORDEX website: https://euro-cordex.net/060374/index.php.en

For practical applications, we also provide the regridded values on a common grid of 0.11° × 0.11° with spatial coverage of 28N−70N and 13W−35E.

In Version 2, we supplemented the original dataset from Version 1 with the regridded data in a common grid. We also added evaluation runs (where available) and useful variables such as “surface elevation” (orog) and “land surface fraction” (sftlf) to all NetCDF files.
