Surface Soil Moisture–Vegetation Feedbacks in Water-Limited Regions across Land Surface Models

Andrea Alessandri, Marco Possega, Annalisa Cherchi, Emanuele Di Carlo et autres

Soil moisture plays a critical role in water-limited regions through its strong coupling and feedbacks with vegetation. However, state-of-the-art Land Surface Models (LSMs) used in reanalysis and near-term prediction systems still lack a realistic coupling of vegetation, limiting their ability to properly …

Impact of spatial resolution on multi-scenario WRF-ARW simulations driven by the CMIP6 MPI-ESM1-2-HR global model: a focus on precipitation distribution over Italy

Maria Vittoria Struglia, Alessandro Anav, Marta Antonelli, Sandro Calmanti et autres

We present the results of downscaling CMIP6 global climate projections to local scales for the Mediterranean and Italian regions, aiming to produce high-resolution climate information for the assessment of climate change signals, with a focus on precipitation extreme events. We performed hindcast …

Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and Risk Assessment in the Mediterranean area: a climatic impact-driver (CID) framework.

Giovanna Pisacane, Maria Vittoria Struglia, Emanuela Pichelli, Alessandro Anav et autres

The increasing availability of reliable climate-change information at the regional scales is prompting an ever-growing demand for impact and risk indicators suitable for policy planning and implementation. As highlighted in IPCC AR6, the latter also benefit from the recent advances in attribution …

Effects of increasing spatial resolution towards convection permitting scales in the Mediterranean area

Maria Vittoria Struglia, Alessandro Anav, Marta Antonelli, Sandro Calmanti et autres

Similarly to weather forecasting techniques, climate projections also aim to achieve very high spatial and temporal resolutions, which are needed both as inputs to impact models and to perform reliable risk assessment studies. This is all the more true for the Mediterranean …

The role of realistic vegetation variability in climate predictability and prediction

Andrea Alessandri, Emanuele Di Carlo, Franco Catalano, Bart van den Hurk et autres

Vegetation is a relevant and highly dynamic component of the Earth system and its variability – at seasonal, interannual, decadal and longer timescales – modulates the coupling with the atmosphere by affecting surface variables such as roughness, albedo and evapotranspiration. In this …

Dynamical downscaling of CMIP6 scenarios with ENEA-REG: an impact oriented application for the MED-CORDEX region

Sandro Calmanti, Alessandro Anav, Marta Antonelli, Adriana Carillo et autres

In the framework of the coordinated regional modeling initiative Med-CORDEX (Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment), we present an updated version of the regional Earth System Model ENEA-REG designed to downscale, over the Mediterranean basin, the models used in the Coupled Model Intercomparison …

Interannual land cover and vegetation variability based on remote sensing data in the HTESSEL land surface model: implementation and effects on simulated water dynamics

Fransje van Oorschot, Ruud van der Ent, Markus Hrachowitz, Emanuele Di Carlo et autres

Vegetation largely controls land surface–atmosphere interactions. Although vegetation is highly dynamic across spatial and temporal scales, most land surface models currently used for reanalyses and near-term climate predictions do not adequately represent these dynamics. This causes deficiencies in the variability of modeled …
