Undercatch corrected gridded precipitation data to improve hydrological modeling in high-alpine orography

Stationary precipitation measurements are frequently affected by undercatch errors, which are particularly pronounced in cold and alpine regions with strong winds. Since gridded precipitation products used in land surface modeling are often derived from spatial interpolation of m...

Using personas as means to bridge user needs and climate service design: insights from the Austrian climate scenario evaluation

As climate services transition from pure data provision to tailored decision support systems, they require a mechanism to translate heterogeneous user needs into functional design. Despite the consensus on user-centeredness, systematic frameworks focusing on usability and uptake...

Predicting forecast errors with diffusion model for uncertainty quantification in wind speed nowcasting

Abstract. Weather forecasts are inherently uncertain due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere and unavoidable errors. Ensemble forecasting is the established approach for quantifying the uncertainty. However, it is both computationally expensive and inherently prone to under-d...
