Abstract

The E-OBS dataset (https://surfobs.climate.copernicus.eu/dataaccess/access_eobs.php) provides gridded daily weather variables across Europe on 0.1° and 0.25° regular grids, including daily mean temperature (TG), daily minimum and maximum temperature (TN, TX), precipitation sum (RR), sea level pressure (PP), relative humidity (HU), wind speed (FG), and global radiation (QQ). The ensemble dataset is constructed through a conditional simulation procedure. For each of the members of the ensemble a spatially correlated random field is produced using a pre-calculated spatial correlation function. The mean across the members is calculated and is provided as the "best-guess" fields. The spread is calculated as the difference between the 5th and 95th percentiles over the ensemble to provide a measure of the 90% uncertainty range.
