The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests limiting global warming to 1.5 °C compared 2 would avoid dangerous impacts of anthropogenic climate change and ensure a more sustainable society. As the vulnerability is regionally dependent, this study assesses effects 0.5 less extremes in United States. Eight extreme indices are calculated based Coupled Model Intercomparison Projec...

The need for climate change information at the regional-to-local scale is one of the central issues within the global change debate. Such information is necessary in order to assess the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems and to develop suitable adaptation and mitigation strategies at the national level. The end-user and policy-making communities have long sought reliable reg...

Abstract Two regional climate models (RCMs) participating in the CORDEX–Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluations (CORDEX-CORE) project feature a dipole-type rainfall bias during March–May (MAM) and September–November (SON) over central equatorial Africa (CEA), consisting of positive west (WCEA) negative east (ECEA). One is Model version 2015 (REMO2015) other fourth Climate (RegCM4-v7). RCMs ...

Western U.S. (WUS) rainfall and snowpack vary greatly on interannual decadal timescales. This combined with their importance to water resources makes future projections of these variables highly societally relevant. Previous studies have shown that precipitation events in the WUS are influenced by timing, positioning, duration extreme integrated vapor transport (IVT) (e.g., atmospheric rivers) ...

This paper assesses the reliability of regional climate downscaling products from Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment-Southeast Asia (CORDEX-SEA) in reproducing present-day wind at East Coast Peninsular Malaysia (ECPM). A total five CORDEX-SEA products, namely CNRM-CM5(RegCM4), CSIRO-Mk3-6-0(RegCM4), EC-EARTH(RegCM4), HadGEM2-ES(RegCM4) and MPI-ESM-MR(RegCM4), with a resolution 25 km, w...

Abstract The collaboration between the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) and Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) provides open access to an unprecedented ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) simulations, across 14 CORDEX continental-scale domains, with global coverage. These simulations have been used as a new line evidence assess projections in latest contributio...

Four climate parameters (i.e. maximum, mean and minimum air temperature precipitation amount) from 10 regional models, provided by the EURO-CORDEX initiative, are adjusted using as reference ROCADA gridded dataset. The adjustment was performed on a daily temporal resolution for historical period (1971–2005), well change scenarios based two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 RCP8.5). ...
