- Description and user guide of the worldwide CORDEX C3S dataset assessing potential conflicts due to overlaps
This document provides some guidelines how to use worldwide CORDEX data in overlapping regions.
- Experimental design for the GCM/RCM Matrix (29/06/2018)
This report documents how the new EURO-CORDEX experiment is designed in terms of which GCM-RCM-RCP combinations to run in the project. This was produced quite some time ago, therefore the presented information is not fully up-to-date, but nevertheless provides a fairly good idea about the concept for designing new experiments.
- Documentation for the use of pattern scaling with particular focus on Europe (25/04/2019)
This report documents results from the 34 EURO-CORDEX RCP8.5 simulations. For a number of European subregions we present patterns describing the regional climate change in relation to the change in global mean temperature. These patterns are derived as the linear fit between regional climate change and change in global mean temperature. This is a commonly used method and can be seen as the standard definition of pattern scaling used in the scientific literature. For the calculation of these patterns the climate change signal was derived for three different time windows (2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100) w.r.t. the control climate (1971-2000)
- Decide on experimental setup for internal variability (28/02/2018)
Internal variability is an intrinsic character of the climate system and it is also present in climate models. The design to run new RCM experiments took into account the intention that the internal variability can be studied. This report present some early investigations on these aspects for the EURO-CORDEX domain.
- Synthesis report (15/10/2021)
In this report we review the EURO-CORDEX ensemble, which now contains altogether around 130 members (from which around half of them was prepared by the support of C3S). The report provides information about model biases and climate change trends what can be deduced with the help of the this particularly large RCM ensemble .
- Proposed method to assess the usability of the RCP-GCM-RCM modelling setup and description of the first results (28/02/2021)
C3S is aiming to build a EURO-CORDEX ensemble which is as complete as possible. By doing this, C3S will fill some of the missing elements of the EURO-CORDEX GCM-RCM-RCP uncertainty matrix. As we will have more simulations available (and these being complete sub-matrices, for instance), we are in a better position to assess how the full matrix can be reproduced when based on fewer available model simulations. In addition, we can determine how the missing model elements can be built. This unique study gives valuable insights into the optimal design of such ensemble systems in the future.
- Documentation for the role of internal variability for Europe (31/03/2021)
This report describes the regional and local effects of internal climate variability as described by two sets of downscaled data for two different three-member GCM ensembles and two downscaled single-model multi-member ensembles.
- A scientific assessment of the usability of the RCP-GCM-RCM setup (11/07/2021)
This report outlines a scientific assessment of the usability of the experimental setup for the choice of forcing scenarios (RCPs), global (GCMs) and regional climate models (RCMs), which has been used to decide what additional EURO-CORDEX simulations were performed for C3S.
- Differences between CMIP5 GCMs downscaled by EURO-CORDEX RCMs and the full CMIP5 and CMIP6 ensembles, with focus on Europe (29/06/2021)
This report analyses Global Climate Models (GCMs) for Europe covering the entire set of CMIP5 models, the CMIP5 models used for driving EURO-CORDEX Regional Climate Models (RCMs) and the available CMIP6 ensemble.
- C3S_D34d.3.3.1_validation_results_v3.pdf Evaluation reports per domain and user guide (20/07/2021)
This report summarises the evaluation framework used for the worldwide CORDEX simulations. It explains the model diagnostic and evaluation tools and give a short summary how the provided plots can be interpreted.
- Validation framework (30/06/2021)
This report summarises the validation diagnostics deployed for the worldwide CORDEX simulations. It helps in the interpretation of the validation plots produced.
