Storm Database Files for CLIMK–WINDS: A New Database of Extreme European Winter Windstorms

This database is comprised of the four netCDF files containing the 50 most extreme European winter windstorms identified within the four input sources, with one netCDF file per source: ERA5 reanalysis, CCLM_ERA5_EUR-11 regional climate model simulation, COSMO-REA6 reanalysis, and CCLM_ERA5_CEU-3 regional climate model. This database was created by Clare Marie Flynn and its creation is described in the following paper: Flynn, C. M., Moemken, J., Pinto, J. G., Schutte, M.
