Short summary

This study introduces the EURO-SUPREME dataset consisting of extreme precipitation events selected from a large ensemble of climate models over Europe. The dataset contains information on extreme precipitation events with a precipitation duration of 1 to 72 h that can lead to flooding, high mortality rates and infrastructure damage. We highlight the usefulness of the dataset as a benchmark for improving high-resolution climate models for risk assessment of future extreme floods.
