The ERA15 Reanalysis (1979–1993) has been dynamically downscaled over Central Europe using 4 different regional climate models. The regional simulations were analysed with respect to 2m temperature and total precipitation, the main input parameters for hydrological applications. Model results were validated against three reference data sets (ERA15, CRU, DWD) and uncertainty ranges were derived....

Introduction The policy of free personal care for the elderly in Scotland was implemented in July 2002. Work on the costings of the exercise had been undertaken by the Care Development Group (CDG), a group established by the Minister for Health and Community Care, and chaired by Malcolm Chisholm.

The recent and rapid change in climate seems to have strong impact on many aspects of agriculture, health, ecology, economy and the society. To model these impacts researchers need access to future and past climate databases, some of which are publicly available. One possible source of climate data sets is the collection of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. We developed an easy to...
