The possibility that the dark matter comprises primordial black holes (PBHs) is considered, with particular emphasis on currently allowed mass windows at $10^{16}$ - $10^{17}\,$g, $10^{20}$ $10^{24}\,$g and $1$ $10^{3}\,M_{\odot}$. Planck relics of smaller evaporating PBHs are also considered. All relevant constraints (lensing, dynamical, large-scale structure accretion) reviewed various effects necessary for a precise calculation PBH abundance (non-Gaussianity, non-sphericity, critical...

Abstract This paper analyzes the ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) projections for Europe completed within EURO‐CORDEX project. Projections are available two greenhouse gas concentration scenarios RCP2.6 (22 members) and RCP8.5 (55 at 0.11° resolution from 11 RCMs driven by eight global models (GCMs). The RCM results compared with driving CMIP5 but also a subset last generation CMIP6 projections. Maximum warming is projected all ensembles in Northern winter, along maximum...

The use of regional climate model (RCM)-based projections for providing information in a research and service contexts is currently expanding very fast. This has been possible thanks to considerable effort developing comprehensive ensembles RCM projections, especially Europe, the EURO-CORDEX community (Jacob et al., 2014, 2020). As end 2019, developed set 55 historical scenario (RCP8.5) using 8 driving global models (GCMs) 11 RCMs. article presents ensemble including its design. We target...

Abstract. Reduced-complexity climate models (RCMs) are critical in the policy and decision making space, directly used within multiple Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports to complement results of more comprehensive Earth system models. To date, evaluation RCMs has been limited a few independent studies. Here we introduce systematic form Reduced Complexity Model Intercomparison Project (RCMIP). We expect RCMIP will extend over phases, with Phase 1 being first. In 1, focus...

Abstract. While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) physical science reports usually assess a handful of future scenarios, Working Group III contribution climate mitigation to IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (AR6 WGIII) assesses hundreds thousands emissions scenarios. A key task in WGIII is global mean temperature outcomes these scenarios consistent manner, given challenge that from different integrated assessment models (IAMs) come with sectoral and gas-to-gas coverage...

Global warming is leading to increased heat stress in many regions around the world. An extensive number of indicators (HSIs) has been developed measure associated impacts on human health. Here we calculate eight HSIs for global climate models participating Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6). We compare their future trends as function mean temperature, with particular focus highly populated regions. All analyzed increase significantly (p < 0.01) all considered Moreover,...

Over the last decades, climate science has evolved rapidly across multiple expert domains. Our best tools to capture state-of-the-art knowledge in an internally self-consistent modeling framework are increasingly complex fully coupled Earth System Models (ESMs). However, computational limitations and structural rigidity of ESMs mean that full range uncertainties domains difficult with alone. The choice instead more computationally efficient reduced complexity models (RCMs), which...

A ghost-free theory of gravity with two dynamical metrics both coupled to matter is shown be consistent and viable. Its cosmological implications are studied, the models, in particular context partially massless gravity, found explain cosmic acceleration without resorting dark energy.

Certain inflationary models as well realisations of phase transitions in the early Universe predict formation primordial black holes. For most mass ranges, fraction matter form holes is limited by many different observations on various scales. Primordial are assumed to be formed when overdensities that cross horizon have Schwarzschild radii larger than horizon. Traditionally it was therefore black-hole masses were equal at their time formation. However, detailed calculations collapse show...

Abstract Reliable projections of extremes by climate models are becoming increasingly important in the context change and associated societal impacts. Extremes definition rare events, characterized a small sample with large uncertainties. The evaluation extreme events model simulations thus requires performance measures that compare full distributions rather than simple summaries. This paper proposes use integrated quadratic distance (IQD) for this purpose. IQD is applied to evaluate CMIP5...

Ongoing failure to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions rates has fuelled debate within scientific, policy and public discourses on whether the 1.5&amp;#176;C high-ambition Paris Agreement goal remains reach. The Working Group III (WG3) contribution of Sixth Assessment Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) report provided global mean temperature projections from 1202 integrated assessment model derived pathways. Of these, 97 were deemed be consistent with goal, interpreted...
