Abstract:
Modern climate impact and attribution science requires timely, high-resolution meteorological and hydrological data. The CLIMB workflow is an open-source framework integrating state-of-the-art datasets and methods for operational generation of high-resolution climate datasets tailored for attribution studies of floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other extremes. We show that global climate reanalysis can be efficiently bias-adjusted and downscaled, and further converted into readily-usable climate indicators. The choice of variables and formatting of the data enables direct application in hydrological models. The workflow implements a fully scripted pipeline that can be automated via cron scheduling, providing daily meteorological outputs. We show an application of the workflow for operational monitoring weather extremes in Poland.
