Added value of downscaling multivariate drought indices for seasonal climatic water-balance assessments
Reliable climatic water-balance information at seasonal timescales is essential for informing agricultural and hydrological risks. However, coarse-resolution global climate models (GCMs) often struggle to represent local extremes and derived water-related indices, and their predictive skill for these quantities is typically even more limited. This study assesses the added value of downscaled SPEI for seasonal climatic water-balance assessments, r…
Constraining decadal climate predictions with seasonal forecasts
The increasing demand for climate information that spans seasonal to multi-annual time scales poses a challenge for current prediction systems, which are traditionally designed for specific forecast horizons. This study addresses this gap by proposing a new method to generate seamless climate information from seasonal to decadal time scales. We develop a constraining approach based on ensemble member selection, in which decadal prediction members…
Kilometre-scale Earth system models to support the renewable energy transition
Kilometre-scale Earth system models (km-ESMs) represent a significant advancement in climate modelling, offering unprecedented spatial detail. To ensure their societal relevance, this study explores how combining storyline methodologies can bridge science and decision-making in the context of the renewable energy transition. The study conducted a discourse-based stakeholder mapping and through participatory workshops, three scenario storylines we…
Constraining decadal variability regionally improves near-term projections of hot, cold and dry extremes
Hot, cold and dry meteorological extremes are often linked with severe impacts on the public health, agricultural, energy and environmental sectors. Skillful predictions of such extremes could therefore enable stakeholders to better plan and adapt to future impacts of these events. The intensity, duration and frequency of such extremes are affected by anthropogenic climate change and modulated by different modes of climate variability. Here, we u…
Multi-annual predictions of the frequency and intensity of daily temperature and precipitation extremes
The occurrence of extreme climate events in the coming years is modulated by both global warming and internal climate variability. Anticipating changes in frequency and intensity of such events in advance may help minimize the impact on climate-vulnerable sectors and society. Decadal climate predictions have been developed as a source of climate information relevant for decision-making at multi-annual timescales. We evaluate the multi-model forec…
