Morocco, as a Mediterranean and North African country, is acknowledged as a climate change hotspot, where increased drought and related water resource shortages present a real challenge for human and natural systems. However, its geographic position and regional characteristics make the simulation of the distribution and variability of precipitatio...
Extreme Precipitation is a weather hazard that affects the society directly and harmfully. Because of the process involved in the formation of precipitation at several spatial and temporal scales, the forecast of precipitation is still challenging the weather models. The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of initial condition on the modelli...
Global climate projections suggest a significant intensification of summer heat extremes in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). To assess regional impacts, and underpin mitigation and adaptation measures, robust information is required from climate downscaling studies, which has been lacking for the region. Here, we project future hot spells b...
This study investigates future changes of temperature, precipitation, and associated extreme events in the MENA region using Regional Climate Model ALADIN-Climate over the CORDEX-MENA domain. Model capabilities to reproduce key observed regional climate features are first assessed, including heat waves, drought and high precipitation extremes. Proj...
In this study, we evaluate trends in precipitation and temperature and their related extreme indices in Morocco based on a set of National Climate Monitoring Products defined the by the commission for climatology of the WMO. We use daily precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature data from 30 meteorological stations distributed throughout the c...
Abstract Air temperature conditions affect various aspects of human life through diverse pathways, such as health, agriculture, labour productivity, infrastructure and building constructions, economic production, and so on. To address better efforts at resolving this issue, decision‐making tools need to be developed to identify and prioritize areas...
Les conditions de température de l'air sont parmi les paramètres les plus importants du climat d'une région ou d'un pays. Trois aspects de la température sont traités, à savoir les températures minimales, les températures maximales et l'amplitude thermique. Des cartes ont été créées à l'aide de données d'observation issues de la Direction de la Mét...
A workshop was held in Casablanca, Morocco, in March 2012, to enhance knowledge of climate extremes and their changes in the Arab region. This workshop initiated intensive data compilation activities of daily observational weather station data from the Arab region. After conducting careful control processes to ensure the quality and homogeneity of...
