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 Two questions motivated this study: 1) Will meteorological droughts become more frequent and severe during the twenty-first century? 2) Given projected global temperature rise, to what extent does inclusion of (in addition precipitation) in drought indicators play a role future droughts? To answer, we analyzed changes frequency, severity, historically undocumented extreme over 1981–2100, using standardized precipitation index (SPI; including only) precipitation-evapotranspiration...
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...
&lt;p&gt;We present a multi-model ensemble of regional climate model scenario simulations run at scales allowing for explicit treatment convective processes (2-3km) over historical and end century time slices, providing an overview future precipitation changes the Alpine domain within convection-permitting CORDEX-FPS initiative. The 12 have been performed by different research groups around Europe. are compared with high resolution observations to assess performance period 25 km...
