Propagation of large scale climate change simulations to the regional scale using statistical downscaling and high resolution regional modelling is a key science topic.
Research tasks include:
The use of statistical methods to improve the value of modelling climate extremes: Statistical techniques such as empirical-statistical downscaling and extreme value statistics offer the possibility to enhance the results of climate models with respect to extreme events and provide a robust probabilistic framing of climate hazards based on e.g. ensembles of climate projections.
