EURO-CORDEX is an international climate downscaling initiative that aims to provide high-
resolution climate scenarios for Europe. Here an evaluation of the ERA-Interim-driven EURO …

Extreme value theory is unique as a statistical discipline in that it develops techniques and
models for describing the unusual rather than the usual. As an abstract study of random …

The present study assesses the ability of seven Earth System Models (ESMs) from the
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 to reproduce present climate conditions in …

The present work assesses the relationship between local and synoptic meteorological
conditions and surface ozone concentration over Europe in spring and summer months …

The influence of uncertainties in gridded observational reference data on regional climate
model (RCM) evaluation is quantified on a pan-European scale. Three different reference …

Gridded precipitation datasets have been developed for data assimilation and evaluation
tasks of weather and climate models and for climate analyses. Gridded data uncertainty …

Much of our knowledge about future changes in precipitation relies on global (GCMs) and/or
regional climate models (RCMs) that have resolutions which are much coarser than typical …

High‐resolution gridded daily data sets are essential for natural resource management and
the analyses of climate changes and their effects. This study aims to evaluate the …

Bias adjustment methods usually do not account for the origins of biases in climate models
and instead perform empirical adjustments. Biases in the synoptic circulation are for …

Drought remains a costly natural disaster, with strong socio-economic and environmental
impacts. Skilful seasonal drought forecasts can help to make early decisions. Here we …
