Extreme precipitation records in Antarctica [Dataset]

This is the dataset associated to the research 'Extreme precipitation records in Antarctica' published in International Journal of Climatology.

This repository contains:

Precipitation extremes for each model at every grid point for a duration of xxx days. Files named:

[model]_PCP_max_[xxx]d.csv

Dimensions for ERA5: [lons, lats]

Dimensions for RACMO2: [grid_x, grid_y]

Units: mm

Dimensions to plot the precipitation extremes: lons (longitudes), lats (latitudes) and duration. Files named:

[model]_PCP_max_lats.csv

Dimensions for ERA5: [lats]

Dimensions for RACMO2: [grid_x, grid_y]

Units: degrees

[model]_PCP_max_lons.csv

Dimensions for ERA5: [lons]

Dimensions for RACMO2: [grid_x, grid_y]

Units: degrees

[model]_PCP_max_duration.csv

Dimensions: [time]

Units: days

World Precipitation Records from 1 day. File named:

Max_WR_from1day.csv (first row duration [days]; second row precipitation [mm])
