Happy to share our latest publication on the reliability of different reanalysis datasets for studying hydro-climatic extremes:

HYCLIMM - Hydrology & Climate Impacts Group @hyclimm.bsky.social · 29d

📢 Check out our newest publication: hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

🔍 How reliable are reanalysis datasets for studying hydro-climatic extremes?

📊 All have strengths, but one stands out. Want to know which one?

Comparison of high-resolution climate reanalysis datasets for hydro-climatic impact studies

Abstract. Continuous high-quality meteorological information is needed to describe and understand extreme hydro-climatic events, such as droughts and floods. Observation-based information of the highe...

👋 Hi, we are HYCLIMM – Hydrology & Climate Impacts in Mountain Regions – a research group at @slfdavos.bsky.social & @ethz.ch . We study #water & #climateextremes in mountains under #globalchange!

↪️ We’ll share updates on our work & team led by @manuelaibrunner.bsky.social

Meteorological and hydrological transitions are less related than you might think: only 10% and 25% of dry-to-wet transitions propagate to drought-to-flood transitions at a monthly and yearly time scale, respectively.
