Research for Climate Protection: Convection-Permitting Climate Simulations Austria

The main objectives of this project is to investigate convective-scale events, related processes and their changes in the Alps and subregions in Austria using convection-permitting regional climate models and statistical analysis in relation to available observations. By doing so, Austrian researchers will contribute to the WCRP CORDEX-FPS on Convection with model simulations at the convection-permitting scale and to the aim of a coherent and collective assessment of the consequences of climate change on convective event impacts at local to regional scales in the Alpine region.
