using predefined climate model ensembles?
At GERICS there was a debate whether to use pre-defined climate ensembles vs. the entire Global-Regional Climate Model combinations available. We prefer to us ALL GCM-RCM combinations available on the ESGF.
Previously, one idea was proposed:
For the non-expert user, we would like to provide a list of global & regional climate model combinations to be used for their ensemble statistics. We would like to provide the user a way of indicating if they would like to use the pre-defined ensemble (for example, via button) or create their own ensembles. Pr-defined Ensemble combination listed below.
Using the DWD-Kern-Ensembles v2018 which is motivated by the following statement:
Ausgehend von den DWD-Referenz-Ensembles v2018 für die Szenarien RCP2.6, RCP4.5 und RCP8.5 steht für Deutschland zu jedem RCP-Szenario ein DWD-Kern-Ensemble v2018 mit einer vordefinierten Anzahl von Klimaprojektionen zur Verfügung. Dabei ist beabsichtigt bzgl. der Lufttemperatur mindestens 90 % und bzgl. der restlichen Parameter mindestens 80 % der Bandbreite des Klimasignals im Referenz-Ensembles zu erhalten:
