Short summary

The paper discusses the derivation of precipitation climate maps over Belgium from daily observations available for the period 1981-2010. Several mapping approaches are compared in a cross-validation exercise. A large panel of climate maps are derived. In particular, the main spatio-temporal features of the annual cycle of rainfall in Belgium are extracted by principal component analysis (PCA).
