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. The data in this set is a user-friendly version of the RACMO putput that was used to calculate the scenario tables. ‘User-friendly’ means that the data is mapped to a regular lat/lon grid, and that the time coordinate corresponds to the nominal period it is used for. Version 1 (https://dataplatform.knmi.nl/dataset/knmi23-user-friendly-racmo-1-0) of the dataset only includes values within the Dutch borders, the current version (2.0) also includes values outside the borders. In addition, this version also includes a mask to mask the points outside the Netherlands. This user-friendly dataset is also provided to the public via the data portal.

Additional information can be found in the KNMI’23 user report: https://cdn.knmi.nl/system/data_center_publications/files/000/071/901/original/KNMI23_klimaatscenarios_gebruikersrapport_23-03.pdf, as well as on the data portal: https://klimaatscenarios-data.knmi.nl/.
