Extreme, large-scale precipitation events and associated oodings are one of the greatest natural hazards facing society in Europe. Climate simulations show that these extreme events will intensify in a warmer climate. However, the rarity of these events complicates systematic investigation, which may also be a ected by model-speci c di erences. This project uses ensemble simulations from various global climate models to enable a systematic and robust analysis of future changes of extreme precipitation events over Central European river catchments and to evaluate multi-model di erences more accurately. With the help of a scaling approach and further analyses, uncertainties in atmospheric dynamics are also investigated in more detail. | This project is part of the BMFTR-funded project ‘ClimXtreme 2’.
