Abstract

The KNMI'23 climate scenarios are based on 240 years (8 ensembles of 30 years each) of RACMO (Regional Atmospheric Climate Model) v2.3 data for every horizon/scenario. For the derivation of river discharges, daily RACMO fields of temperature, precipitation and (Makkink) potential evapotranspiration are necessary. This dataset supplies the data that has been used by Deltares to calculate the river discharges. Also additional variables are supplied. The timeseries of the discharges can be found at: https://rwsprojectarchief.openearth.nl/downloads/afvoerscenarios/KNMI23_afvoerscenarios_RijnMaas/.
