README for CESM and WRF model data
**********************************

By Øivind Hodnebrog (oivind.hodnebrog@cicero.oslo.no), CICERO, October 2019.

The dataset contains model data used in the submitted manuscript "Intensification of summer precipitation with shorter time-scales in Europe" by Ø. Hodnebrog et al.

The dataset consists of two main folders: CESM1-CAM4 and WRF381.

CESM1-CAM4:
-----------
Global CESM climate model data used in Hodnebrog et al. The folder contains two files with hourly precipitation values for the historical (1986-2005) and future (2081-2100, RCP8.5) time periods, and two files with monthly 2 m air temperature for the same time periods.

WRF381:
-------
Regional WRF climate model data used in Hodnebrog et al. This folder contains four subfolders and the data are described in Hodnebrog et al. - see especially Table S1.

The subfolders are:
- NORTHWEST_EUROPE: Data for domains 2-4 in experiment set 1, driven by CESM1-CAM4 data.
- NORTHWEST_EUROPE_REANALYSIS:  Data for domains 2-4 in exp. set 1, driven by GFS data.
- NORTHCENTRAL_EUROPE: Data for domains 2-3 in experiment set 2, driven by CESM1-CAM4 data.
- SOUTHEAST_EUROPE: Data for domains 2-3 in experiment set 3, driven by CESM1-CAM4 data.

Each of the subfolders contain one file per domain (wrfgrid_d0?.nc) with information about the WRF grid (latitudes, longitudes, land/sea mask and terrain height), and one file per domain per year (wrfprecip_d0?_YYYY.nc) with accumulated precipitation data in mm.
