Improving the potential accuracy and usability of EURO-CORDEX estimates of future rainfall climate using frequentist model averaging [PDF]
Probabilities of future climate states can be estimated by fitting distributions to the members of an ensemble of climate model projections. The change in the ensemble mean can be used as an estimate of the change in the mean of the real climate. However,

Simulating climate change and land use effects on soil nitrous oxide emissions in Mediterranean conditions using the Daycent model [PDF]
In Mediterranean agroecosystems, limited information exists about possible impacts of climate change on soil N2O emissions under different land uses. This paper presents a modelling study with a dual objective.

Mediterranean Sea response to climate change in an ensemble of twenty first century scenarios [PDF]
The Mediterranean climate is expected to become warmer and drier during the twenty-first century. Mediterranean Sea response to climate change could be modulated by the choice of the socio-economic scenario as well as the choice of the boundary ...

Palaeolimnological evidence for an east-west climate see-saw in the Mediterranean since AD 900 [PDF]
During the period of instrumental records, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has strongly influenced inter-annual precipitation variations in the western Mediterranean, while some eastern parts of the basin have shown an anti-phase relationship in ...

Complex drought patterns robustly explain global yield loss for major crops
Multi-purpose crops as maize, rice, soybean, and wheat are key in the debate concerning food, land, water and energy security and sustainability. While strong evidence exists on the effects of climate variability on the production of these crops, so far ...
