Ongoing projects

BINGO -- Bringing INnovation to onGOing Water Management – A better Future under Climate Change

The project aims at providing practical knowledge and tools to water managers affected by climate change to better cope with climate projections and near-term climate predictions (decadal predictions). The work package led by the Institute of Meteorology of Freie Universität Berlin will particularly address hydrological extreme conditions within climate change scenarios and decadal climate predictions, focusing on six representative areas across Europe.

Finished projects

2011/2015

MiKlip (Mittelfristige Klimaprognose,since 2011) is the German initiative for decadal climate prediction funded by the Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), a research alliance with 35 projects in 5 modules (about 150 people involved): I am coordinating the evaluation and validation activities (MiKlip Module E) which are distributed over 11 projects (about 40 scientists). As such I am a member of the MiKlip steering committee. Besides coordinating this research alliance, setting guidelines for forecast verification approaches, organising workshops, maintaining a communication platform, I contribute to the following projects within MiKlip:

  • EnsDiVal: I am leading the evaluation of probabilistic forecasts of winter storm frequencies (Tim Kruschke) and frost days (Igor Kröner), an analysis of a potential systematic dependence of temperature forecast skill on height (Madlen Fischer), the development of a reliability diagram plugin for the central evaluation system (CES, Andreas Dobler), the development of a new set of indices to describe cyclone and winter storm densities (Bruno Schyska) and the representation of the AAO in the MiKlip system (Stella Babian). I furthermore design and author explanatory material for forecast verification tools.
  • INTEGRATION: I am involved in the design and test of the essential plugin MurCSS of the CES (Christopher Kadow, Sebastian Illing, Oliver Kunst). MurCSS implements the Module E guidelines for forecast verification on decadal time scales.
  • StepClim: I suggested the use of generalised linear and additive models for extreme convective event probabilities dependent on CAPE and wind shear and I am actively involved in the current analyses (Peter Groenemeijer, Georg Pistotnik @ ESSL).
  • VESPA: I am supporting the analysis of skill dependence on the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (Ines Höschel), the time series analysis of NAO and PNA (Alexander Pasternack), testing for a relation between NAO and PNA (Franz Landrock).
2012/2013 The relation between large scale circulation indices and European temperatures and precipitation, together with the German Weather Service (DWD). The result is used in the DWD's operational climate monitoring (Andy Richling).
Climate change and adaptation in Ethiopia, together with the PotsdamInstitute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and financed by the GermanMinistry of Foreign Affairs. Bias correction for temperature andprecipitation from GCMs/RCMs (Tim Kruschke, Madlen Fischer).
2008/2009 Regionalisation of precipitation, and hydrological and agricultural impact of climate change on vulnerable regions (REGYNA), a French national project led by B. Sultan. I participated during my post-doc at the LSCE, Gif-sur-Yvette, France: development of a novel probabilistic assessment scheme for circulation patterns, precipitation modelling and downscaling with GLMs.
2007/2008 Modelling extreme precipitation. A case study for the UK, funded by a DAAD-BC travel grant. Several visits to the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) in Norwich, UK. Extreme value models including the annual cycle
and vector generalised models to link extreme precipitation to large scale flow indices.
Extreme events, causes and consequences (E2C2), a Specific TargetedResearch Project (STREP) by the European Commission (FP-6) led byM. Ghil. I contributed with work to long-range dependence and its effecton extreme value statistics during my post-doc at the University of Potsdam, Germany.
2002-2006 Scaling and trend analysis in hydro-meteorological time series, a project with stakeholders from Hydrology, funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). I developed a novel test on long-range dependence and analysed trends in extreme values during my PhD project at the PIK.
