Evaluation simulations with REMO2020-2-iMOVE performed on the EURO-CORDEX domain at 0.11 degree resolution, using ERA5.1 reanalysis data as lateral boundary conditions for the years 1981-2020, using the static land cover map from the LUCAS LUC dataset Version 1.1. for the year 2015 (https://doi.org/10.26050/WDCC/LUC_hist_EU_v1.1). REMO-iMOVE includes interactive vegetation and plant functional types (PFTs) and is able to simulate the interaction of land cover and climate. The simulation was performed in the scope of the Horizon Europe project OptFor-EU (OPTimising FORest management decisions for a low-carbon, climate resilient future in Europe). Within OptFor-EU, the data is used to evaluate the performance of REMO202-2-iMOVE under past climate conditions with a static (2015) land Cover map for Europe and serves as a baseline for the experiment "REMO2020-2-iMOVE-LUC Simulation Driven By ERA5.1 Reanalysis With Annually Updated LUCAS Land Cover Maps". Within OptFor-EU the data also feeds the development of Decision Support Systems (DSS) assisting decision-making on Forest Management Options in different case studies within Europe. For 18 climatic indicators, relevant for forest management, we provide seasonal and annual data as timeseries on the EURO-CORDEX EUR-11 grid in netcdf format: number of dry days (dd), evapotranspiration (evspsbl), number of frost days (fd), near-surface relative humidity (hurs), near-surface specific humidity (huss), maximum length of heat waves (hwx), number of ice days (id), leaf area index (lai), total runoff (mrro), surface runoff (mrros), relative soil moisture (mrsov), precipitation (pr), sea level pressure (psl), number of summer days (SU30), daily mean temperature (tas), daily maximum temperature (tasmax), daily minimum temperature (tasmin), field capacity of soil (wsmx).
