Combining regional downscaling expertise in Belgium: CORDEX and beyond

The main objectives of the CORDEX.be project were:
1. Contribute to the international climate community by participating to EURO-CORDEX by
performing regional climate simulations over Europe.
2. Provide an ensemble of High-Resolution (H-Res) climate simulations over Belgium i.e. to
create a small ensemble of high-resolution future projections over Belgium at convectionpermitting
resolutions.
3. Couple these model simulations to seven local-impact models for impact studies.
4. Present an overview of the ongoing climate modeling activities in Belgium.
5. Provide coherent climate information for Belgium targeted to end-users, backed by: (i) a
unified framework for the H-Res climate runs and (ii) uncertainty estimations on the climate
change signal;
6. Provide and present a climate-impact report for stakeholders and the general public that
highlight the most important results of the project.
