Guidelines

The outputs of global and regional climate models has become indispensable source of information to many sectors and research fields. On the other hand, model simulations suffer from many uncertainties. Informed estimates of the uncertainty and analysis of its sources is crucial for any application. The thesis will look especially into interactions between driving global model and nested regional model.
