High-quality Climate Projections

This research programme aims to provide high quality information on regional climate in the Netherlands, now and in the future, for developing national and regional adaptation strategies (read more). The Consortium will do so by:

Performing/analyzing regional and global climate model simulations
Providing show cases of high impact future weather situations at very high resolution
Providing coherent time series, and estimates of extremes and uncertainty ranges
Applying climate projections to various sectors, including dealing with uncertainty
Communicating climate change and climate change impact to users

The consortium started in November 2010 and will end in 2014. To subscribe to the newsletter, please send an email to the climate services desk. The newsletter will be published with a frequency of at least once per year.

Application for climate (impact) data and information (for KvK themes and hotspots only)

The expert pool of theme 6 has budget to generate tailored data on climate(change) and the impacts on hydrology, nature, agriculture, land use and air quality. For example additional time series to the KNMI’06 scenarios, specific climate indices, water levels etc.
