Data supporting "Modeling and evaluating the effects of irrigation on land-atmosphere interaction in southwestern Europe with the regional climate model REMO2020-iMOVE using a newly developed parameterization"

This data supports the analysis of the manuscript Asmus et al. 2023 "Modeling and evaluating the effects of irrigation on land-atmosphere interaction in southwestern Europe with the regional climate model REMO2020-iMOVE using a newly developed parameterization". Simulation data The simulation data is created with REMO2020-iMOVE using the new irrigation parameterization. The results are saved as NetCDF files with monthly mean values and/or time series (hourly) of single variables for the analysis period. A list of the simulations can be found below. Observation data The observation data is published with the kind permission of ISPRA which hosts the SCIA database (www.scia.isprambiente.it). If you use this data, please make sure to include the following data source:SCIA by ISPRA - Area Climatologia operativa - Via V. Brancati 48 00144 Roma. We downloaded monthly mean values for the variables T2Max, T2Min and T2Mean from http://193.206.192.214/servertsutm/serietemporali100.php (last accessed on 14/10/2022) to verify the model results with and without irrigation parameterization. By untarring the tarballs, the data structure is created that is necessary to execute the analysis scripts.
