Data for the manuscript: A multi-dataset analysis of precipitation trends in Europe

This is a companion dataset to the paper A multi-dataset analysis of precipitation trends in Europe by Beranová R., Huth R. and Vít V., to be submitted to Journal of Hydrometeorology.

This research was supported by the Johannes Amos Comenius Programme (OP JAC), project No. CZ.02.01.01/00/22_008/0004605, Natural and anthropogenic georisks.

The dataset is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY-4.0). This license allows others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the dataset for any purpose, even commercially, as long as they give appropriate credit to the original creator(s).

The dataset contains the following parts:
ECAD_pr_var.dat The dataset includes the mean values, trends, and statistical significance of the trends for the period 1961–2010, separately for winter (DJF) and summer (JJA). It covers three precipitation variables: total precipitation, precipitation probability, and precipitation intensity. The data are sourced from the ECA&D database. Each row corresponds to a single location (station/gridbox), identified by its geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude).
REGEN_pr_var.dat Same as previous but the data comes from the REGEN database. 
Eobs_pr_var.dat Same as previous but the data comes from the E-OBS database.
NCEP_pr_var.dat Same as previous but the data comes from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. 
20CR_pr_var.dat Same as previous but the data comes from the 20CR reanalysis data.
ERA5_pr_var.dat Same as previous but the data comes from the ERA5 reanalysis data.

ECAD_trend_dif.dat The dataset provides a comparison of total precipitation trends for both winter and summer between ECA&D station locations and other datasets (REGEN, E-OBS, NCEP/NCAR, 20CR, and ERA5). Each row corresponds to a single location (station). A value of 1 indicates a statistically significant difference between the trends.
Eobs-ERA5_trend_dif.dat The dataset provides a comparison of total precipitation trends for both winter and summer between the E-OBS dataset and the ERA5 reanalysis. Each row corresponds to a grid box. A value of 1 indicates a statistically significant difference between the trends.
