Large ensemble climate modelling time series for the Rhine catchment, including drought2018 storylines

<p>Dataset associated with&nbsp;<strong>Van der Wiel, Lenderink, De Vries (2021):&nbsp;Physical storylines of future European drought events like 2018 based on ensemble climate modelling,&nbsp;<em>Weather and Climate Extremes, </em>DOI <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.wace.2021.100350">10.1016/j.wace.2021.100350</a>.</strong></p> <p>Large ensemble climate modelling time series for the Rhine catchment. The dataset contains three ensembles (present-day, pre-industrial + 2C-warming, pre-industrial +&nbsp;3C-warming) of 2000 years each, various variables related to drought are included.&nbsp;All data is derived from the EC-Earth global climate model (v2, Hazeleger et al. 2012, DOI <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-011-1228-5">10.1007/s00382-011-1228-5</a>). Descriptions of large ensemble experimental setup can be found in Van der Wiel et al. (2019, DOI <a href="http://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL081967">10.1029/2019GL081967</a>).

(2021, DOI <a href="http://doi.org/10.1016/j.wace.2021.100350">10.1016/j.wace.2021.100350</a>). Files:&nbsp;drought18_m[123]_Rhine.tar.gz</p>
