MEDAQCLIM PROJECT WORK PACKAGES & DELIVERABLES The WP1 with title Climate scenarios and assessment of RCM projections and the associated Deliverable D6 entitled Climate modelling tasks focused on: The selection, acquisition, management, and processing of a unified set of IPCC’s Climate Change data under different GHG concentration scenarios, namely RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, to be used as input in all hydrologic and hydrodynamic models in MEDAQCLIM Project. The evaluation of the selected datasets of climate variables led by thorough validation of modelled atmospheric parameters compared against re-analysis data and/or in situ observations together with basic statistical analysis. The presentation of estimated local/regional ... Read More
