EURO-CORDEX - European component of the Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment
The EURO-CORDEX dataset contains regional climate model data for Europe, for use in impacts, decision-making, and climate science. Currently, the bucket contains monthly datasets of 2m air temperature downscaled from CMIP5 global model datasets using different regional climate models.

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Monthly temperature context for climate change allowance sensitivity checks in flood risk and drainage assessments · Regional temperature projection inputs for water resources and abstraction planning narratives · Climate-science baseline for environmental impact assessment reporting on European temperature change
- Audience llm-inferred
- climate scientists · hydrologists · water resources engineers · environmental consultants · planners
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- currently only monthly 2m air temperature is available · based on CMIP5 global models (not CMIP6) · spatial resolution not stated in docs · time span not stated in docs · further datasets added on demand, so variables and scenarios are not guaranteed · use subject to CORDEX terms of use
