The 13 Regional Climate Models that ran simulations over the European domain will be documented through the Earth-System Documentation (ES-DOC) which provides a standardised and easy way to document climate models.

...

Note: on the data update of the 27th of May, 2021 for some non-European simulations only the six most demanded variables is are published, which are 2m specific humidity, mean precipitation flux, 10m wind speed, 2m temperature, minimum and maximum temperature in the last 24 hours. The additional variables (indicated in bold face below) will be added in the next batch (anticipated latest in September, 2021).
