I4C CPRCM requested variable list

This table shows the data request from the different I4C work packages and includes also the variables requested from the CORDEX FPS-URB-RCC and FPS-CONV initiatives. This merged data request table is also available as a CSV file. Note: To avoid duplicated entries, the frequency shown for some variables in the data request from the FPS-CONV initiative has been adapted to match the highest frequency requested by the other two ongoing activities.
