Abstract

For the KNMI'23 climate scenarios, 16 members were generated with RACMO (Regional Atmospheric Climate Model) v2.3 data for the historical period 1950-2014. The daily and hourly RACMO fields of temperature, precipitation and (Makkink) potential evapotranspiration of these 1040 years (16 ensembles of 65 years each) were used in the EMFloodresilience project by Deltares to calculate discharges from the Meuse River.
