Abstract The European CORDEX (EURO-CORDEX) initiative is a large voluntary effort that seeks to advance regional climate and Earth system science in Europe. As part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) - Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), it shares broader goals providing model evaluation projection framework improving communication with both General Circulation Model (GCM) data user communities. EURO-CORDEX oversees design coordination ongoing ensembles...
Abstract. A representation of atmospheric chemistry has been included in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The new modules complement aerosol IFS composition, which is named C-IFS. C-IFS supersedes a coupled system chemical transport model (CTM) Model OZone and Related Tracers 3 was two-way to (IFS-MOZART). This paper contains description on-line implementation, an evaluation with observations comparison performance MOZART...
Abstract Here we present the first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale horizontal grid spacing over a decade long period. A total 23 run with $$\sim $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mo>∼</mml:mo> </mml:math> 3 km, driven by ERA-Interim reanalysis, and performed 22 European research groups are analysed. Six different models (RCMs) represented in ensemble. The compared against available high-resolution precipitation...
Abstract. A new global reanalysis data set of atmospheric composition (AC) for the period 2003–2015 has been produced by Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). Satellite observations total column (TC) carbon monoxide (CO) and aerosol optical depth (AOD), as well several TC profile ozone, have assimilated with Integrated Forecasting System Composition (C-IFS) European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecasting. Compared to previous Atmospheric Climate (MACC) (MACCRA), CAMS interim...
Abstract. In the current work we present six hindcast WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting model) simulations for EURO-CORDEX (European Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment) domain with different configurations in microphysics, convection radiation time period 1990–2008. All regional model are forced by ERA-Interim reanalysis have same spatial resolution (0.44°). These evaluated surface temperature, precipitation, short- longwave downward at total cloud cover. The analysis of...
Abstract. Daily global analyses and 5-day forecasts are generated in the context of European Monitoring Atmospheric Composition Climate (MACC) project using an extended version Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The IFS now includes modules chemistry, deposition emission reactive gases, aerosols, greenhouse 4-dimensional variational data assimilation scheme makes use multiple satellite observations atmospheric composition addition to...
Abstract. The Land Use and Climate Across Scales Flagship Pilot Study (LUCAS FPS) is a coordinated community effort to improve the integration of land use change (LUC) in regional climate models (RCMs) quantify biogeophysical effects LUC on local Europe. In first phase LUCAS, nine RCMs are used explore impacts re-/afforestation over Europe: two idealized experiments representing respectively non-forested maximally forested Europe compared order spatial temporal variations sensitivity...
Abstract Interactions between the land surface and atmosphere play a fundamental role in weather climate system. Here we present comparison of summertime land‐atmosphere coupling strength found subset ERA‐Interim‐driven European domain Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (EURO‐CORDEX) model ensemble (1989–2008). Most regional models (RCMs) reproduce overall soil moisture interannual variability, spatial patterns, annual cycles exchange fluxes for different zones suggested by...
Abstract The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a coordinated international activity that has produced ensembles of regional climate simulations with domains cover all land areas the world. These are used by wide range practitioners include scientific community, policymakers, and stakeholders from public private sectors. They also provide basis for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-Assessment Reports. As its next phase now launches, CMIP6-CORDEX datasets expected...
Abstract As global temperatures continue to rise, the impact of heatwaves becomes increasingly striking. The increasing frequency and intensity these events underscore critical need understand regional‐scale mechanisms feedback, exacerbating or mitigating heatwave magnitude. Here, we use an ensemble convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs) elucidate future changes at fine spatial scales. We explore whether recently highlighted drier/warmer signal introduced by CPRCMs improves...
[1] Regional climate-air quality simulations were performed over Europe for two future decades, 2041–2050 and 2091–2100 under IPCC A1B scenario the control decade 1991–2000. The serve as a theoretical experiment investigating impact of changing climate on summer surface ozone. Our suggest that changes in ozone imposed by change until 2040s are below 1 ppbv more pronounced 2090s. median near temperature whole is 2.7 K higher at end 21st century than to 20th with intense increase simulated...
Ozone air pollution is identified as one of the main threats bearing upon human health and ecosystems, with 25 000 deaths in 2005 attributed to surface ozone Europe (IIASA 2013 TSAP Report #10). In addition, there a concern that climate change could negate mitigation strategies, making them insufficient over long run jeopardising chances meet term objective set by European Union Directive 2008 (Directive 2008/50/EC Parliament Council 21 May 2008) (60 ppbv, daily maximum). This effect has...

The European MACC (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate) project is preparing the operational Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), one of services Programme on Earth observation environmental services. uses data assimilation to combine in situ remote sensing observations with global regional models atmospheric reactive gases, aerosols, greenhouse based Integrated Forecasting System Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). component service has a...
Abstract The biophysical effects of reforestation and afforestation (herein jointly called re/afforestation) on the diurnal temperature cycle in European summer are investigated by analyzing a regional climate model (RCM) ensemble, established within Land Use Climate Across Scales Flagship Pilot Study (LUCAS FPS). With this RCM two idealized experiments performed for Europe, one with continent maximized forest cover, which all forests turned into grassland. First, an in-depth analysis...
Abstract. Three global Chemistry Transport Models – MOZART, MOCAGE, and TM5 as well MOZART coupled to the IFS meteorological model including assimilation of ozone (O3) carbon monoxide (CO) satellite column retrievals, have been compared surface measurements MOZAIC vertical profiles in troposphere over Western/Central Europe for summer 2003. The models reproduce features enhancement pollution during period 2–14 August, but not fully CO mixing ratios measured that episode. Modified normalised...
Abstract. Stratosphere-to-troposphere transport (STT) is an important natural source of tropospheric ozone, which can occasionally influence ground-level ozone concentrations relevant for air quality. Here, we analyse and evaluate the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) global regional forecast systems during a deep STT event over Europe time period from 4 to 9 January 2017. The predominant synoptic condition described by upper level trough eastern central Europe, favouring...
