This paper focuses on extreme temperature events specifically in Portugal as the study area. Portugal POLYGON((-9.5 36.8, -6.2 36.8, -6.2 42.2, -9.5 42.2, -9.5 36.8)) This initiative aims to build first-of-its-kind ensemble climate experiments of convection permitting models to investigate present and future convective processes and related extremes over Europe and the Mediterranean. The test cases covered a summertime extreme precipitation event over Austria, a fall Foehn event over the Swiss Alps and an intensively documented fall event along the Mediterranean coast. Europe is one of the primary study regions for convective phenomena research. Europe POLYGON((-10.0 35.0, 40.0 35.0, 40.0 72.0, -10.0 72.0, -10.0 35.0)) This work aims to study how the productivity of Mediterranean vegetation is affected by hot and dry events, examining a set of severe episodes that occurred in three different regions (Iberian Peninsula, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Europe) between 2001 and 2019. The Mediterranean region is the study area for vegetation productivity analysis. Mediterranean Region POLYGON((-6.0 30.0, 42.0 30.0, 42.0 47.0, -6.0 47.0, -6.0 30.0)) To contribute to the understanding of these compound events, we propose to assess the probability of extremely hot summer days in the Iberian Peninsula (IP) being preceded by drought events in spring and early summer, based on their joint probability distribution through copula theory. The Iberian Peninsula is the region for joint probability analysis of drought and heat. Iberian Peninsula POLYGON((-10.0 35.5, 4.0 35.5, 4.0 44.0, -10.0 44.0, -10.0 35.5)) Here, several different heat and ozone wave definitions were applied to characterize the wave-type extremes for two climatically different regions, i.e., Portugal (South Europe) and Bavaria (Central Europe), and their impacts were evaluated considering each type of hazard independently but also when they occur simultaneously. Central and South Europe is the study region for heat and ozone pollution analysis. Central and South Europe POLYGON((5.0 35.0, 30.0 35.0, 30.0 55.0, 5.0 55.0, 5.0 35.0)) Extensive, long-standing dry and wet episodes are two of the most frequent climatic extreme events in the Iberian Peninsula. Here, a method for ranking regional extremes of persistent, widespread drought and wet events is presented, considering different timescales. The method is based on the multi-scalar Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) gridded dataset for the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula is the study area for historical extreme weather event analysis. Iberian Peninsula POLYGON((-10.0 35.5, 4.0 35.5, 4.0 44.0, -10.0 44.0, -10.0 35.5)) This work aims at expanding previous ones by assessing how climate change may affect both wheat and barley yields in the Iberian Peninsula. This is achieved by using a wide range of EURO-CORDEX RCMs simulated meteorological variables (such as maximum and minimum air temperatures and precipitation) representative of present and future climates, according to the Representative Concentration Pathways RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 greenhouse gas emission scenarios The Iberian Peninsula is the geographical focus for crop yield climate impact studies. Iberian Peninsula POLYGON((-10.0 35.5, 4.0 35.5, 4.0 44.0, -10.0 44.0, -10.0 35.5)) In the case over Mediterranean the effects of local-scale interactions between flow and orography and land–ocean contrasts are readily apparent The Mediterranean is a co-primary study region for convective phenomena research.
