In Europe, the effects of global warming are expected to be particularly acute in areas exposed to a more extreme continental climate. The climate change scenarios summarized in Chapter 2, this volume, suggest that the average summer temperatures in some areas of Central Europe could increase by as much as 6 ◦ C by 2071–2100. The associated projections for the rainfall give even more cause for ...

Climate change is expected to manifest in the shift of organisms to regions where they were not present in the past, potentially entailing previously unseen biological risks. However, studies evaluating these future trends are scarce. Here, an important group of vectors (sandflies) and the pathogen transmitted (Leishmania infantum complex) causing the infectious disease visceral leishmaniasis i...

Abstract. In this study, we use run-time bias correction to correct for the Action de Recherche Petite Echelle Grande (ARPEGE) atmospheric model systematic errors on large-scale circulation. The bias-correction terms are built using climatological mean of adjustment tendency in an ARPEGE simulation relaxed towards ERA-Interim reanalyses. reduction with respect Atmospheric Model Intercomparison ...

This study evaluates the pattern of a nighttime climate index namely tropical nights (Tmin ≥ 20ºC) during 21st century in several different sized cities Carpathian Basin. For modelling, MUKLIMO_3 microclimatic model and cuboid statistical method were applied. In order to ensure proper representation thermal characteristics an urban landscape, Local Climate Zone (LCZ) system was used as landuse ...

The most recent climate change scenarios show that Southern and Eastern Europe will be affected by a significant increase in temperature drought frequency the end of 21st century. Romania has already recorded very high temperatures long periods over decades, regions being south, west east country. Considering successful forest management requires suitable species high-quality reproductive mater...

Abstract As summer heatwaves have severe adverse impacts on human society and ecosystems, there is need to better understand their meteorological drivers future projections under climate change. This study investigates the linkage between atmospheric blocking (June–August) over North America using two reanalysis datasets (ERA-Interim NCEP-DOE-R2) large-ensembles of Canadian Earth System Models ...

Climate change can affect different drivers of flooding in low-lying coastal areas the world, challenging design and planning communities infrastructure. The concurrent occurrence multiple flood such as high river flows extreme sea levels aggravate impacts result catastrophic damages. In this study, individual compound effects riverine are investigated at Stephenville Crossing located coastal-e...
