Advancing Global-and Continental-Scale Hydrometeorology: Contributions of GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel
2004 •
Richard Lawford
Over the past 9 years, the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), has coordinated the activities of the Continental Scale Experiments (CSEs) and other related research through the GEWEX Hydrometeorology Panel (GHP). The GHP contributes to the WCRP'S objective of “developing the fundamental scientific understanding of the physical climate system and climate processes [that is] needed to determine to what extent climate can be predicted and the extent of man's influence on climate.” It also contributes to more specific GEWEX objectives, such as determining the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes, modeling the global hydrological cycle and its impacts, developing a capability to predict variations in global and regional hydrological processes, and fostering the development of observing techniques, data management and assimilation systems. GHP activities include diagnosis, simulation, and experimental...

Gao Y., Weiher s., markkanen t., Pietikäinen J.-P., Gregow h., henttonen h.m., Jacob D. & laaksonen A. 2015: Implementation of the CORINE land use classification in the regional climate model REMO. Boreal Env. Res. 20: 261–282. Regional climate models provide an effective way to study the effects of land use changes on regional climate conditions. A precise land cover map is a precondition for land use change studies. We introduce a more realistic high-resolution land cover map, CORINE Land Cover (CLC), to replace the Global Land Cover Characteristics Database (GLCCD), which is used as a standard land cover map in the regional climate model REMO. In this study, present-day climate simulations over northern Europe are performed by using REMO at 18-km resolution with both CLC and GLCCD. Simulated maximum and minimum 2-m air temperatures, diurnal temperature range and precipitation are assessed with the observation-based E-OBS data. The updated CLC enhances the realism of the descripti...
Precipitation estimate over the Baltic Sea: Present state of the art
2001 •
Ralf Lindau
Precipitation is one of the main components in the water balance, and probably the component determined with the greatest uncertainties. In the present paper we focus on precipitation (mainly rain) over the Baltic Sea as a part of the BALTEX project to examine the present state of the art concerning different precipitation estimates over that area. Several methods are used, with the focus on 1) interpolation of available synoptic stations; 2) a mesoscale analysis system including synoptic, automatic, and climate stations, as well as weather radar and an atmospheric model; and 3) measurements performed on ships. The investigated time scales are monthly and yearly and also some long-term considerations are discussed. The comparison shows that the differences between most of the estimates, when averaged over an extended period and a larger area, are in the order of 10-20%, which is in the same range as the correction of the synoptic gauge measurements due to wind and evaporation losses...
