Research topics
Downscaling of IPCC scenarios via high-resolution Numerical Weather Prediction models
We use state-of-the-art NWP models to obtain HRES climate projections of atmospheric fields (e.g. precipitations and winds) by 2100
AI-based methods and Numerical Weather Prediction models for the green energy revolution
We use state-of-the-art NWPs in concert with data-driven AI-based algorithms to obtain accurate weather forecasts of green sources (wind, solar, waves)
