Bias-Adjusted Climate Parameters for the Meuse Catchment from KNMI-RACMO-ECEARTH

The Belgian and French part of the Meuse catchment is covered by bias-adjusted precipitation, temperature, and potential evaporation data. The dataset, provided by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, has a time resolution of 1-hourly for precipitation and daily for temperature and potential evaporation, aggregated into 15 subcatchments.

Use Cases

• Hydrological modeling based on bias-adjusted precipitation and temperature data.
• Climate impact studies on river basins based on subcatchment-aggregated parameters.
• Validating regional climate models based on bias-adjusted potential evaporation data.

Strengths

• Data is bias-adjusted, which likely improves accuracy for hydrological applications.
• Covers 15 subcatchments, providing spatial granularity for the Meuse region.
• Includes three key climate variables: precipitation, temperature, and potential evaporation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
