Scenario-based analysis of the projected mean changes in the monthly frequency of hot days based on the latest CMIP6 simulations along European zonal segments
The potential changes in extreme hot temperature (represented by TX35, i.e. the number of days with maximum temperature above 35 °C) are analysed, using the latest global climate model simulations ensemble mean of CMIP6, available in the new tool of the IPCC, namely, the Interactive Atlas. The analysis is carried out over Europe with a special focus on Central and Southern Europe. Our aim is to evaluate the spatial patterns within the projected c…
The Adaptive Block: Passive Cooling Adaptation Strategies for Urban Resilience
Rising urban temperatures driven by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect highlight the need for architectural strategies that enhance thermal comfort while promoting environmental sustainability. In Budapest’s District 7, characterized by diverse multi-family historical buildings, existing studies predominantly address energy consumption for heating, leaving a gap in passive cooling research. The categorization of typologies derived from the Tabula…
Seasonal trends in the Early Twentieth Century Warming (ETCW) in a centennial instrumental temperature record from Central Europe
The goal of the present paper is to investigate whether any objectively defined and statistically significant changes can be discovered in one of the longest homogenized instrumental temperature records in East-Central Europe. Thus, it is hoped that the present analysis will add to earlier attempts and elucidate the persistence of the warming period observed in the early 20th century. Similar to the global tendency, the Early Twentieth Century Wa…
Spatial and temporal analysis of drought-related climate indices for Hungary for 1971–2100
The lack of precipitation may cause severe damage in different sectors, especially in agriculture and forestry, therefore, its analysis is a key element of adaptation strategies in the changing climate. In the present study, we selected different climate indices as important indicators for forests to investigate the current and future wet and dry conditions in summer in Hungary. For the historical period (from 1971), the observation-based HuClim …
Future changes of snow-related variables in different European regions
Snow has an important role in the climate system and also has environmental, natural and socio-economic impacts. Temperature, precipitation, snow coverage, snow depth and snowmelt are analysed in this study for 1971–2099 based on EURO-CORDEX simulations. In order to measure uncertainty, three different scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) and five different regional climate models are taken into account. The investigation focuses on eight regions, …
The role of temperature and the NAO index in the changing snow-related variables in European regions in the period 1900-2010
Snow-related variables are analysed in the present paper in the period 1901‒2010 on the basis of the ERA-20C dataset. Relationships between different snow characteristics, temperature and the NAO index are investigated on monthly, yearly and decadal scales for eight regions within Europe representing different climatic types (i.e. oceanic, continental, polar) to analyse the differences and similarities between them depending on the climatic condi…
Sources of doubt: Actors, forums, and language of climate change skepticism
The paper investigates the reference corpus of a climate change contrarian report. We categorized the journal abstracts according to the endorsement positions on anthropogenic climate change. These results were contrasted by an in-text citation analysis. We focused here on the role of the papers included by the report editors concerning the mainstream claims around climate change. Our results showed moderate differences in the endorsement rates a…
