Daily precipitation fields of the RACMO-EC-EARTH regional climate model ensemble

This dataset contains the daily precipitation fields of the 16-member initial-condition regional climate model ensemble RACMO-EC-EARTH that were used in: Aalbers, E.E., Lenderink, G., Van Meijgaard, E., De Vries, H. and Van den Hurk, B.J.J.M. (2025), Uncertainty in projected precipitation change and its dependency on aggregation to the river-basin scale. Submitted to Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.
