Climate Scenarios

Simulations were performed for the period 2000-2100 using the regional circulation model CSC_REMO2009_MPI-ESM-LR63. The considered climatological scenarios were:

RCP 2.6 (optimistic scenario, assuming a rapid reduction in global GHG emissions),
RCP 4.5 (medium), and
RCP 8.5 (pessimistic, assuming that efforts to reduce GHG emissions will not be successful).

In 2026, simulations will be performed with the updated climate scenarios SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 (downgrade for the Czech Republic).
