Das Projekt "ENSEMBLES - Climate change and its impacts at seasonal, decadal and centennial timescales" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart, Institut für Angewandte Forschung durchgeführt. ENSEMBLES is an integrated research project running from 2004 to 2009 and is coordinated by the Met Office Hadley Centre. It has produced probabilistic projections of climate for Europe to help inform researchers, decision makers,businesses and the public with climate information from the latest climate modelling and analysis tools. The climate projections generated in ENSEMBLES describe the world and Europe experiencing tangible, measurable climate change. As the century progresses the projected climate moves increasingly farther away from its current state, so that by 2100 the climate of Europe will be very different from today. Even under a mitigation scenario, the climate of Europe during the next few decades is still calculated to depart significantly from that of the present.
