The EXtreme PREcipitation and Hydrological climate Scenario Simulations (EXPRESS-Hydro) Gauss Large Scale project, undertaking its activities in cooperation with the DRIHM project, presented its results at the SuperMUC Status and Results Workshop in Garching July 8–9, 2014 (https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/supermuc/review_workshop/).

Very high-resolution regional dynamical downscaling of historical climate scenarios produced by the ERA-Interim reanalysis and of climate change scenarios produced by a global climate model (the EC-Earth model), using the state-of-the-art non-hydrostatic Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate model, are currently produced. To the best knowledge of the authors, for the first time long climate simulations over the European domain at a very fine cloud-permitting resolution of about 4 km (0.037°) with explicitly resolved convection and a sharp representation of orography are performed.

The talk is available here, while the official report is available here.
