A Review of 2000 Years of Paleoclimatic Evidence in the Mediterranean
[EN] The integration of climate information from instrumental data and documentary and natural archives; evidence of past human activity derived from historical, paleoecological, and archaeological records; and new climate modeling techniques promises major breakthroughs for our understanding of climate sensitivity, ecological processes, environmental response, and human impact. In this chapter, we review the availability and potential of instrumental data, less well-known written records, and terrestrial and marine natural proxy archives for climate in the Mediterranean region over the last 2000 years. We highlight the need to integrate these different proxy archives and the importance for…
New European Wind Atlas: Mesoscale Atlas
The mesoscale part of the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) was created from WRF model simulations for all of Europe at a grid spacing of 3 km x 3 km, initially covering the 30 years from 1989 to 2018. The WRF model simulations (using WRF V3.8.1) were done in 10 partly overlapping domains using ERA5 reanalysis and OSTIA sea surface temperatures. We used many ensemble members to determine the most suitable configuration for the final production run. The model configuration, production and evaluation of the results against observations are described in Hahmann et al. (2020) and Dörenkämper et al. (2020).Data are accessible through doWIND, an instance of daTap (RESTfull API for data aggregation a…
