title: Bias-corrected EURO-CORDEX RCM simulations for the OPTAIN case studies

description: Bias-corrected EURO-CORDEX RCM simulations are available on a daily timescale for: -period 1981-2099/2100, -6 RCM, -3 scenarios (RCPs 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5), -7 variables (mean, minimum and maximum temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, wind speed at 2 m and relative humidity) and -18 domains and 23 locations within these domains. Bias correction and further downscaling to 0.1° was done using ERA5-Land reanalysis data with non-parametric empirical quantile mapping. Moreover, the interpolation of gridded bias-corrected climate model simulations to the locations was made using universal kriging. <strong>Organization of the data</strong> The name of the files are <em>domain</em>-<em>type</em>.zip, where <em>type</em> is gridded (NetCDF) or point (csv). Each zip file contains multiple files, organized in subfolders: <em>experiment</em>/<em>modelNumber</em>/<em>variable</em>.nc for gridded and <em>experiment</em>/<em>modelNumber</em>/<em>variable-pilotFieldNumber</em>.txt for point data, where <em>experiment </em>is rcp26, rcp45 or rcp85. <em>domain and pilotFieldNumber</em> <strong>domain</strong> <strong>domain </strong><strong>location (min and max.

Parameters selected were: corrections for each day of the year using a moving windows for a 31 days; 100 quantiles; wet days corrections for precipitation. The reference period is 1981-2010. The interpolation of gridded bias-corrected climate model simulations to the location was made using universal kriging with R packages automap and gstat with (external) variables x, y, x2, y2, x*y, z, where x is latitude, y is longitude, and z is elevation. For Digital Elevation Model Shuttle Radar Topography Mission was used. If there was an error using above mentioned variables, the number of variables was reduced to x, y, x*y, z and if there was still an error to x, y, z. <strong>Funding</strong> This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 862756.
