  1. ENSEMBLES GA 2007 – 12 Nov - 16 Nov 2006, Prague Estimates of Windstorm induced Loss in Europe RT6, WP 6.2 Meeting Markus Donat Gregor Leckebusch Uwe Ulbrich ENSEMBLES GA 2007, Prague – WP6.2 Meeting 12 Nov

  2. FUBs objective: • Estimation of loss potential due to extreme wind storms in the ENSEMBLES climate model simulations (GCMs and RCMs) • Main topic: estimation of robustness of the scenario changes considering the different ensemble members Task 6.2.3: Design of sensitivity analyses based on existing climate projections and some initial performance tests Task 6.2.5: Development of models for understanding and evaluating the impacts of extremes. These models will operate within a probabilistic framework, incorporating where possible effects of adaptation and acclimatisation to climate change. Task 6.2.10: Preliminary evaluation of the impacts of extreme events using selected impact models for crops, human health, forest fire, forest damage, intense precipitation, drought, wind and temperature extremes from available climate projections ENSEMBLES GA 2007, Prague – WP6.2 Meeting 12 Nov
