Abstract

This repository contains the data and scripts used in the manuscript “Storyline-based climate attribution reveals strong intensification of the 2018–2022 multi-year drought in Europe” (under review / revised for publication). The archive includes processed hydrological and drought diagnostics derived from storyline-based climate simulations and mHM modelling. The ZIP files contain domain-aggregated and spatial outputs of soil moisture deficit (SWC2m) and drought spatial extent for Europe, computed for pre-industrial (PI), present-day (PD), and +2 K, +3 K, and +4 K warming scenarios, with a focus on the 2018–2022 multi-year drought event. The repository includes the scripts used to calculate the drought metrics presented in the paper and its supplementary information. These materials are provided to support transparency and reproducibility of the study and may be reused with appropriate citation.
