SummarySummary• Not much time spent on WP6.2

– Two months on another project– Work on other ENSEMBLES WPs

• RT8– Public participation in science Web site

– Stakeholders

• RT4– Ambient climatology behind Mediterranean extremes

• WP6.2– Web site– Review of models

Page 3: Tom Holt Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK

DeSurveyDeSurvey• Data may be of use in WP6.2

– ERA-40 on 1 degree grid over Mediterranean• Standard variables• 6-hourly• 1958-2002

– Downscaling to 1 km resolution• Weighted by topography• Most of Spain and mainland Greece done• Based on above ERA-40 data

RT 8: Public web site (1)RT 8: Public web site (1)• Two sections

– ENSEMBLES– Climate change

• Need contributions– Particularly on climate change part– url:

• Temperature– >30 deg C: decline in milk yield and fat

content even with low humidity– >32 deg C: reproduction declines, rams can

become impotent for 2-3 months

• Water– 3.6 litres/day in winter, 14 litres/day in

summer– more on very hot days

Tourism

• Problems making links with climate data– Too many other variables?– Numbers of tourists might be more

appropriate statistic than income from tourists

• Lack of good data available free– Europe is trying but is not there yet

Preliminary report on changes in climate extremes and their relation to flood risk, agriculture, forest and property damage – Requires models on:

• Human health• Flooding• Drought• Wind storm• Forest damage• Agriculture (not clearly specified in the DoW)

UEA has models on:• Human health

– heat stress– Atmospheric pollution

• Drought– What impacts?

• Agriculture• + a small contribution to wind storm and flooding• return period modeling and probabilities of extremes

– Other partners are also contributing to human health and agriculture.
