My goal is to understand more present and future climate by using observations and dynamical climate models.
Downscaling in general is a technique to take information known at large scales to finer scales. The two main approaches are used in downscaling climate information: dynamical and statistical. Dynamical downscaling requires running high-resolution climate model on a sub-domain, using observational data/lower-resolution climate model output as a boundary condition.
My principal field of interest is Europe with some outlook to other regions such as: Australia, South America and Sout-East Asia.
