Sample temperature and precipitation of four catchments derived from the ERA5-Land gridded dataset

Description

Reanalysis data of four grid cells from ERA5-Land.

Usage

Format

Contains two lists data_p and data_t containing precipitation and temperature data, respectively. Each list consists of four data frames (one list per station/grid cell) of the following 4 variables.

YYYY

a numeric vector, year

MM

a numeric vector, month

DD

a numeric vector, day

Precip/Temp
