Deforestation can impact precipitation through biophysical processes and such effects are
commonly examined by models. However, previous studies mostly conduct deforestation …

Abstract The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a coordinated
international activity that has produced ensembles of regional climate simulations with …

This study investigates the impact of topography on five snow cover fraction (SCF)
parameterizations developed for global climate models (GCMs), including two novel ones …

Snow dynamics play a critical role in the climate system, as they affect the water cycle,
ecosystems, and society. In climate modelling, the representation of the amount and extent …

Abstract Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are most commonly found in sub-polar and alpine
climates where they pose a considerable threat to society and nature. While the relationship …

The biogeophysical effects of severe forestation are quantified using a new ensemble of
regional climate simulations over North America and Europe. Following the protocol outlined …

Seasonal snow cover plays a major role in the climate system of the Northern Hemisphere
via its effect on land surface albedo and fluxes. In climate models the parameterization of …

In the context of the first phase of the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling
Experiment in the European domain (EURO-CORDEX) flagship plot study on Land Use and …

A fundamental issue associated with the dynamical downscaling technique using limited-
area models is related to the presence of a “spatial spin-up” belt close to the lateral …

In the Northern Hemisphere, the seasonal snow cover plays a major role in the climate
system via its effect on surface albedo and fluxes. The parameterization of snow-atmosphere …
