The Key Role of Heavy Precipitation Events in Climate Model Disagreements of Future Annual Precipitation Changes in California [PDF]
Climate model simulations disagree on whether future precipitation will increase or decrease over California, which has impeded efforts to anticipate and adapt to human-induced climate change. This disagreement is explored in terms of daily precipitation

D3.3 Dynamical downscaling of climate & atmospheric impacts
This deliverable D3.3 “Dynamical downscaling of climate & atmospheric impacts” provides a description of high resolution modeling approach to downscale both meteorological and wind information for the four HYPERION pilot sites. The downscaled information will be utilized by analysis techniques developed in HYPERION project to assess the impact of ...

Using the Twentieth Century Reanalysis to assess climate variability for the European wind industry
We characterise the long-term variability of European near-surface wind speeds using 142 years of data from the Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR), and consider the potential of such long-baseline climate data sets for wind energy applications.
