Data description Name: Yearly high flow (maximum discharge) Domain: Selected gauging stations in “Hydrological” Bavaria (catchment-based delineation including all of Bavaria plus parts of Baden-Wurttemberg, Austria, and Switzerland) Resolution: yearly (temporal), aggregation to catchments Period: 1962-2099 Variable: Discharge in [m³/s] Description: Yearly block maxima of daily discharge. Discharge simulations were performed with WaSiM in the scope of the ClimEx project (meteorological drivers: downscaled and bias-adjusted CRCM5-LE output, using RCP8.5 scenario conditions from 2006 onwards). Relevant project references: Leduc et al. 2019, Willkofer et al. 2020. Datatype: txt Date: 08 March 2019 Institution: LMU Munich (R. Wood) Restrictions: For educational purposes in the scope of the ClimComp Climate Data course only. Acknowledgments: This data was produced within the ClimEx project. CRCM5 was developed by the ESCER Centre of Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM; https://escer.uqam.ca/) in collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada. We acknowledge Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis for executing and making available the CanESM2 Large Ensemble simulations used in this study, and the Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution Network for proposing the simulations. Computations with CRCM5 for the ClimEx project were made on the SuperMUC supercomputer at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The operation of this supercomputer is funded via the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing (GCS) by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, Science and the Arts. Comments: The selected gauging stations are: [add short description] München – Kempten – Weilheim – Würzburg – Hof – Innsbruck/Reichenau – Landsberg – Beilngries – Harburg – Cinuos-Chel (oder alternatives Gebirgs-EZG) – Mainleus – Nürnberg
