Deprecation notice for EURADCLIM version 2.0 datasets

As of 06-10-2025, the datasets RAD_OPERA_HOURLY_RAINFALL_ACCUMULATION_EURADCLIM/2.0 and RAD_OPERA_24H_RAINFALL_ACCUMULATION_EURADCLIM/2.0 have been deprecated.

EURADCLIM version 3 changes with respect to version 1: - 15-min rain rates over 150 mm/h are deemed outliers and set to 0 mm/h. - More local weighting is applied in the merging of radar and rain gauge data: the first adjustment step (only long range component) stayed the same with respect to EURADCLIM versions 1 & 2, but the second adjustment step is now more local. - The 1-h EURADCLIM accumulations, from which the 24-h accumulations are derived, are capped at 300 mm. - Much better rain gauge coverage above Spain. - Years 2021, 2022, 2023 have been added (and 2023 w.r.t. version 2).
