Climate projections for the Czech Republic based on Euro-CORDEX simulations

Original language description

Within the finished CzechAdapt project (www.czechadapt.cz), projections based on the latest climatenmodel simulations were analyzed and a material was prepared to provide input to and support for adaptationnstrategies in various fields (e.g. forestry, agriculture, hydrology). Both GCMs (global climate models)nand RCMs (regional climate models) were analyzed within the project. In this contribution we focus on thenlatest RCMs available from the Euro-CORDEX project based on 0.11 degree resolutions and covering thenEuropean area. For these model experiments, the following greenhouse gas emission scenarios have beennused: RCP 4.5 (milder scenario) and RCP 8.5 (pessimistic scenario). Since the climate models suffer fromnpotentially severe biases, it has been necessary to statistically correct their outputs. For this purpose, a suitablenreference dataset has been prepared, based on quality controlled, homogenized and gap-filled stationntime series. The correction method applied was based on variable corrections using individual percentiles.nFrom the corrected model outputs, various indices were calculated, describing the future climate both inntime and space. The outputs can serve as a basis for subsequent impact studies.
