Detection and attribution of changes in European temperature<br />

and precipitation<br />

Friday - Parallel Session 6<br />

Simon Tett<br />

Recent heat waves and flooding events have generated popular views that European<br />

climate is changing due to human influences. We compare simulated and observed<br />

changes in warm and cold season temperature and precipitation for two European<br />

regions. We find that combined human and natural influences are robustly detectable<br />

in temperature and in Northern European cold season precipitation changes. Natural<br />

only influences on European climate are not robustly detected. This work also<br />

suggests that changes in winter precipitation are under estimated in current climate<br />

models.<br />
