Ensemble calculations of "Ice Days" from EURO-CORDEX data for Europe

Climate Index: Ice days

Definition: Number of days with daily maximum temperature below 0°C.

Additional information: The dataset is based on an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX model simulations of daily near-surface maximum temperature. All ensemble members are bias-corrected against the gridded daily observational dataset E-OBS.

Results (ensemble mean and standard deviation) are available for historical (1971-2000) and future (2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100) climate periods and for the representative concentration pathways RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.

The bias-corrected EURO-CORDEX climate model simulations used are:
