Consistency of observed winter precipitation trends in northern Europe with regional climate change projections
Often it is claimed that the recent changes in northern European climate are at least partly anthropogenic even though a human influence has not yet been successfully detected. Hence we investigate whether the recent changes are consistent with regional climate change projections. Therefore, trends in winter (DJF) mean precipitation in northern Europe are compared to human induced changes as pr...
متن کاملPlanetary boundary layer energetics simulated from a regional climate model over Europe for present climate and climate change conditions
[1] This paper presents a description of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) for current (1960–1990) and future (2070–2100) climate periods as obtained from a regional climate model (RCM) centered on the Mediterranean basin. Vertically integrated turbulent kinetic energy (TKEZ) and boundary layer height (zi) are used to describe PBL energetics. Present climate shows a TKEZ annual cycle with a cl...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of a Climate-Driven Mortality Model during Heat Waves and Cold Spells in Europe
The impact of climate change on human health is a serious concern. In particular, changes in the frequency and intensity of heat waves and cold spells are of high relevance in terms of mortality and morbidity. This demonstrates the urgent need for reliable early-warning systems to help authorities prepare and respond to emergency situations. In this study, we evaluate the performance of a clima...
متن کاملValidation of climate model-inferred regional temperature change for late-glacial Europe
Comparisons of climate model hindcasts with independent proxy data are essential for assessing model performance in non-analogue situations. However, standardized palaeoclimate data sets for assessing the spatial pattern of past climatic change across continents are lacking for some of the most dynamic episodes of Earth's recent past. Here we present a new chironomid-based palaeotemperature dat...
متن کاملRegional climate change scenarios and their impacts on water requirements for wheat production in Iran
We simulate the effect of climate change on water requirements of cold seasonwheat in various climatic zones of Iran. The research considers both observedclimate (temperature and precipitation) changes during recent decades (1960-2009)based on instrumental records and projected future changes to 2100 based on theMAGICC/SCENGEN 5.3 compound model. 20 General Circulation models are usedbased on a...
