Investigation and quantification of feedback processes between the atmosphere and the soil-vegetation system in a changing climate (Project)
For the simulation of regional climate change including extreme events, the development of a new generation of regional climate models is essential. Current simulations of the statistics of temperature and precipitation are not accurate enough in many regions in Europe particularly over complex terrain. Current model evaluations indicate that improved simulations can be realised by advancing (a)...
