Weighting and constraining climate projections
Publishing the ETH Zurich climate model weighting method (ClimWIP) as part of ESMValTool Through its commitment to open science, EUCP also aims to provide a legacy of code for future research and applications. One of the methods used in several…
Read moreCombining information from decadal predictions and climate projections to phase in climate variability
Information about the near-term future climate evolution over Europe is available from a range of sources. In particular, on the EUCP target time scales of the next 40 years, global initialised (decadal predictions) and non-initialised (projections) model simulations, together with…
Read moreRecommendations for next generation decadal prediction systems
Decadal predictions (those running up to 10 years into the future) have greatly improved in the last decade thanks to worldwide coordinated efforts (such as WCRP-DCPP). These led to model improvements, advancements in initialization strategies (beginning the model simulation using observed…
