Tasks:
UEDIN convenes the work package on "regionalisation:
atmospheric forcing and response" (WP
1), within which they reconstruct long-term climatic
trends at EMERGE sites with a daily resolution. UEDIN
generates climatic time-series (by retrodiction based on automatic
weather station data) in order to 'force' physical lake models;
downscale global circulation model output of x2 CO-2 climate, for
scenario evaluations of the impact of future climatic change at
the EMERGE sites; analyses climate records and assess the spatial
variation of climate between the EMERGE sites; up-scales the EMERGE
climates for regionalisation work; and undertakes statistical
correlation of EMERGE lake cores.
