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.

There is a very useful User Guide prepared by the EURO-CORDEX community which is providing guidance how to use EURO-CORDEX climate projection data. Please note that the data download part of this document at this stage refers only to access the data from the ESGF directly. Certainly the data can be also downloaded from the CDS and this information will be soon provided in that document. This EURO-CORDEX User Guide is available at https://www.euro-cordex.net/imperia/md/content/csc/cordex/guidance_for_euro-cordex-guidelines-version1.0-2017.08_climate_projections_data_use__2021-02_1_.pdf

The spatial overlaps of the different CORDEX domains provides an opportunity for building grand ensembles by pulling together all the existing simulations from the different domains. Although this could in principle create some heterogeneity and/or duplication, there are recent studies that use and support this option (https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-19-0084.1), although further research is still needed to assess the resulting grand ensembles (see for instance https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GL086799).

The documents below were provided by the data supplier as background information on the creation of the EURO-CORDEX data stored in the Climate Data Store (CDS) for the benefit of the CORDEX data users.
