Natural and Anthropogenic influence on Precipitation and EXtreme events Naturlige og antropogene påvirkninger på nedbør og ekstremnedbør

Nedbørsendringer og spesielt endringer i ekstremnedbør er noen av de viktigste utfordringene ved fremtidige klimaendringer. Forskjell mellom modeller for fremtidens nedbørsendringer er store. NAPEX forsøker å forstå hvorfor det er så store forskjeller mellom ulike klimamodeller. Til dette er det ...
