Annual maxima of sub-daily precipitation were extracted from each of 35 members of a EURO-CORDEX ensemble with a spatial resolution of 0.11° (EURO-CORDEX: https://www.euro-cordex.net/). Precipitation durations range from 1 to 72 hours. Regional Climate Models (RCMs) involved are: ALADIN63,COSMO, HadREM3, RCA4, RegCM4-6, and REMO2015. For each member, we considered both historical (1950-2005) and future (2006-2100) RCP8.5 scenarios. In EURO-CORDEX, different RCMs can have (slightly) different grids and some RCMs (e.g. ALADIN63 and RegCM4-6) have a much different domain. For each RCM the correct bounds are given in the corresponding dataset. In contrast, the bounds given in the Experiment are smaller and can be found on the EURO-CORDEX website: https://euro-cordex.net/060374/index.php.en
