Available variables and units:

• pr:

  • total precipitation
  • Frequency (units) of original data: 3h (kg m-2 s-1)
  • Frequency (units) of output data: monthly accumulated precipitation (mm) at selected grid-points.
  • Bias correction: adjustment of the long term mean, multiplicative factor derived from E-OBS climatology (0.25deg, 1970 - 2005)

• evspsblpot:

  • potential evapotranspiration
  • Frequency (units) of original data: day (kg m-2 s-1)
  • Frequency (units) of output data: monthly accumulated potential evapotranspiration (mm) at selected grid-points.

Notes:

Values "-9999" correspond to points for which bias correction based on EOBS can not be applied.
