High‐resolution gridded climate data for Europe based on bias‐corrected EURO‐CORDEX: The ECLIPS dataset

Abstract Climate is an important driver of many ecological and social processes; the availability of high‐resolution climate data is thus one of the key presumptions for knowledge‐based decisions. We created a new climate dataset for Europe referred to as ECLIPS (European CLimate Index ProjectionS),...

We created a new climate dataset for Europe referred to as ECLIPS (European CLimate Index ProjectionS), which contains gridded data for 80 annual, seasonal and monthly climate variables for two past (1961–1990 and 1991–2010) and five future (2011–2020, 2021–2140, 2041–2060, 2061–2080 and 2081–2100) periods.
