  • Influence of model resolution on bomb cyclones revealed by HighResMIP-PRIMAVERA simulations

    Open AccessJiaxiang Gao, Shoshiro Minobe et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Bomb cyclones are explosively intensifying extratropical cyclones that can cause severe damage to life and property. However, the poor ability of coarse-resolution climate models to simulate bomb cyclones, including underestimation of the frequency of bomb cyclones, remains a problem. In this study, the dependence of bomb cyclone characteristics on horizontal resolution from 135 to 18 km is investigated by analyzing the outputs of HighResMIP hist…

  • Past long-term summer warming over western Europe in new generation climate models

    Open AccessJulien Boé, Laurent Terray et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Past studies have concluded that climate models of previous generations tended to underestimate the large warming trend that has been observed in summer over western Europe in the last few decades. The causes of this systematic error are still not clear. Here, we investigate this issue with a new generation of climate models and systematically explore the role of large-scale circulation in that context. As an ensemble, climate models in this stud…

  • Large-scale winds in the southern North Sea region

    Open AccessAndreas Sterl, A Bakker et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    The wind climate and its possible change in a warming world are important topics for many applications, among which are marine and coastal safety and wind energy generation. Therefore, wind is an important variable to investigate for climate change scenarios. In developing the wind part of the KNMI'14 climate change scenarios, output from several model categories have been analysed, ranging from global General Circulation Models via regional clim…

  • Resolution dependence of circulation forced future central European summer drying

    Open AccessRonald van Haren, Rein Haarsma et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Climate model based projections suggest a drying of the central European summer climate toward the end of the century. In this study we investigate the influence of the spatial resolution of an atmosphere-only climate model (EC-Earth at two resolutions, ∼25 and ∼112 km horizontal) on the simulated summer drying in this area. High resolution models have a more realistic representation of circulation in the current climate and could provide more co…

  • Decelerating Atlantic meridional overturning circulation main cause of future west European summer atmospheric circulation changes

    Open AccessRein Haarsma, Reindert J Haarsma et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    We use state-of-the-art global climate models and observations to show that the projected higher pressures over the British Isles due to global warming are part of an atmospheric response to the decelerating Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) causing a reduction in the associated northward heat transport, keeping the North Atlantic relatively cool. However, considerable inter-model differences in the projected weakening of the AMO…
