-TODO
+The EUPPBench dataset was designed out of `the base dataset <base_>`_ forecasts, reforecasts and gridded observations on a smaller domain and a shorter
+leadtime extent of 5 days, and stored in the `Zarr format <https://zarr.dev/>`_. Stations observation data from different meteorological centers were also added.
+This dataset was thus intended to provide a user-friendly, analysis-ready dataset that can be easily manipulated and processed.
+The dataset was published in `Earth System Science Data (ESSD) <https://www.earth-system-science-data.net/>`_ (see `here <https://eupp-benchmark.github.io/2023/essd-publication.html#essd-publication>`_ our
+news publication about this).
+
+Like the base dataset, data from the EUPPBench dataset can be downloaded from our python `climetlab plugin <https://github.com/EUPP-benchmark/climetlab-eumetnet-postprocessing-benchmark>`_,
+but it is possible to access the Zarr archive with tools from other computing languages (e.g. R or Julia). See the ESSD publication above for more details about how to use the dataset with other languages.

+Some specification of the dataset:
+
+For the gridded data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The gridded EUPPBench postprocessing benchmark dataset contains `ECMWF <https://www.ecmwf.int>`_ ensemble and deterministic forecasts over a small domain in Europe, from 45.75° to 53.5° in latitude,
+  and from 2.5° to 10.5° in longitude, and covers the years 2017-2018.
+* It also contains the corresponding ERA5 reanalysis for the purpose of providing observations for the benchmark.
+* For some dates, it contains also `reforecasts <https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/S2S/A+brief+description+of+reforecasts>`_ that covers 20 years of past forecasts recomputed with the
+  most recent model version at the given date.
+* Forecasts and reforecasts lead time extent of 5 days.
+* All the forecasts and reforecasts provided are the noon ECMWF runs.
+* The ensemble forecasts and reforecasts also contain by default the control run (the 0-th member).
+* The gridded data resolution is 0.25° x 0.25° which corresponds roughly to 25 kilometers.
+* Forecasts and reforecasts are 6-hourly, and include the analysis at 00Z.
+
+For the stations data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* The stations EUPPBench postprocessing benchmark dataset contains ECMWF ensemble and deterministic forecasts at the grid point closest to the station locations, and covers the years 2017-2018.
+* Forecasts and reforecasts lead time extent of 5 days.
+* It also contains the corresponding stations observations for some important variables.
+* For some dates, it contains also reforecasts that covers 20 years of past forecasts recomputed with the most recent model version at the given date.
+* All the forecasts and reforecasts provided are the noon ECMWF runs.
+* The ensemble forecasts and reforecasts also contain by default the control run (the 0-th member).
+* 5 countries are presently available: Belgium, Austria, France, Germany, The Netherlands.
