A combined statistical and dynamical approach for downscaling largescale footprints of European windstorms
[1] The occurrence of mid-latitude windstorms is related to strong socio-economic effects. For detailed and reliable regional impact studies, large datasets of high-resolution wind fields are required. In this study, a statistical downscaling approach in combination with dynamical downscaling is introduced to derive storm related gust speeds on a highresolution grid over Europe. Multiple linear...
متن کاملCopula based covariate selection in climate for statistical downscaling
It is imperative to accurately assess the impacts of climate change at regional scale in order to inform stakeholders to make policy decisions on critical infrastructures, management of natural resources, humanitarian aid, and emergency preparedness. However, Global Climate Models (GCMs) currently provide relatively coarse resolution outputs which preclude their application to accurately assess...
متن کاملHow well do CMIP5 Earth System Models simulate present climate conditions in Europe and Africa? A performance comparison for the downscaling community
This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of seven Earth System Models (ESMs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 in present climate conditions from a downscaling perspective, taking into account the requirements of both statistical and dynamical approaches. ECMWF’s ERA-Interim reanalysis is used as reference for an evaluation of circulation, temperature and humidity var...
متن کاملGlobal warming increases the frequency of river floods in Europe
EURO-CORDEX (Coordinated Downscaling Experiment over Europe), a new generation of downscaled climate projections, has become available for climate change impact studies in Europe. New opportunities arise in the investigation of potential effects of a warmer world on meteorological and hydrological extremes at regional scales. In this work, an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX RCP8.5 scenarios is used to ...
متن کاملStatistical downscaling of precipitation
Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are a major tool used for future projections of climate change using different emission scenarios. However, for assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change at the watershed and the regional scale, ...
