An international team of researchers (Canada, Germany) is working on ClimEx Project to improve researchers’ understanding of severe flooding dynamics under changing climate conditions. To investigate extreme floods associated with long return periods, there is a relatively short time period to reference, often less than 30 years of accurate, detailed data. To predict flooding, the team further downscales the ClimEx simulations statistically to provide input data for hyper-accurate, high-resolution hydrological modeling. The team’s simulations showed good agreement with historical climate data, leaving them confident in its predictive power and its ability to help improve impact models and regional adaptation strategies…read more.
