Impact assessment of coastal hazards due to future changes of tropical cyclones in the North Pacific Ocean

open access: yesWeather and Climate Extremes, 2016
Tropical cyclones generate severe hazards in the middle latitudes. A brief review and applications of dynamical and statistical downscaling of tropical cyclone (TC) are described targeting extreme storm surge and storm wave hazard assessment.

A classification algorithm for selective dynamical downscaling of precipitation extremes [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018
High-resolution climate data O(1 km) at the catchment scale can be of great value to both hydrological modellers and end users, in particular for the study of extreme precipitation.

Representing climate and extreme weather events in integrated assessment models: A review of existing methods and options for development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The lack of information about future changes in extreme weather is a major constraint of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) of climate change. The generation of descriptions of future climate in current IAMs is assessed.We also review recent work on ...

Assessing atmospheric bias correction for dynamical consistency using potential vorticity

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Correcting biases in atmospheric variables prior to impact studies or dynamical downscaling can lead to new biases as dynamical consistency between the ‘corrected’ fields is not maintained. Use of these bias corrected fields for subsequent impact studies

Selecting CMIP6 GCMs for CORDEX Dynamical Downscaling: Model Performance, Independence, and Climate Change Signals

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2022
Global climate models (GCMs) are essential for investigating climate change, but their coarse scale limits their efficacy for climate adaptation planning at the regional scales where climate impacts manifest.

Improved regional climate modelling through dynamical downscaling

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2010
Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Models (GCMs) provide the best estimates for assessing potential changes to our climate on a global scale out to the end of this century. Because coupled GCMs have a fairly coarse resolution they do not provide a detailed picture of climate (and climate change) at the local scale.

Robustness of European climate projections from dynamical downscaling [PDF]

open access: yesClimate Dynamics, 2019
How climate change will unfold in the years to come is a central topic in today’s environmental debate, in particular at the regional level. While projections using large ensembles of global climate models consistently indicate a future decrease in summer precipitation over southern Europe and an increase over northern Europe, individual models ...

Statistical and dynamical downscaling assessments of precipitation extremes in the Mediterranean area

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
Extreme precipitation events in the Mediterranean area have been defined by different percentile-based indices of extreme precipitation for autumn and winter: the number of events exceeding the 95th percentile of daily precipitation, percentage, total ...

Variational Downscaling, Fusion and Assimilation of Hydrometeorological States via Regularized Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Improved estimation of hydrometeorological states from down-sampled observations and background model forecasts in a noisy environment, has been a subject of growing research in the past decades.

Impacts of Spectral Nudging Parameters on Dynamical Downscaling in Summer over Mainland China

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Spectral nudging is an important method of improving the effectiveness of dynamical downscaling in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF). However, spectral nudging is sensitive to nudging parameters, and most related research has typically ...
