KLIMOPASS

As part of the KLIMOPASS project “Sensitivity ranges of sector-specific climate parameters in Baden-Württemberg - the sensitivity traffic light”, sector-specific climate parameters are being evaluated.

Global climate change has an impact on the regional climate. For this reason, Baden-Württemberg's industries will find themselves in a changed climate in the future. However, not every industry is equally affected by climate change and can adapt to climate change in the same way and to the same extent.

For this reason, surveys on sector-specific climate parameters and the sensitivity areas of these sectors to climate change are carried out in this project. These sensitivity areas are classified using the red, yellow and green colors of a traffic light. Finally, coupling with regional climate simulations makes it possible to analyze the projected development of the parameters. A superimposition of the climate parameters with spatially differentiated climate simulations can ultimately show whether and to what extent there will be a regional need for action for an industry - the “sensitivity traffic light”.

An important aim of the project is to communicate the knowledge gained to the sectors under consideration. To this end, maps are made available in printed form and on a website for comparison and interpretation purposes in coordination with the industries and the LUBW. This necessary feedback is aimed at increasing awareness in the industries and at a direct and practical transfer of climate research results for adaptation measures in Baden-Württemberg.

The final report of the project can be found here.

Feasibility Study of Young Scientists

KIT

As part of a concept study, a transferable methodology for determining future air pollution levels is being developed using the city of Karlsruhe as an example. The aim is to use the existing relationship between air quality and meteorological conditions to develop a calculation method for determining air quality. To this end, the air quality with regard to ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides and particulate matter is statistically analyzed on the basis of mobile measurements by AERO-TRAM and stationary air monitoring stations in terms of their dependence on classic meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, wind) and weather conditions. The quantitative correlations found between objectively classified weather conditions and air pollutant concentrations are converted into a calculation method that enables the frequency of air pollution situations to be determined. This can then be used to estimate changes in pollution levels as a result of climate change based on the frequency of weather conditions derived from the results of regional climate models. The investigations will initially focus on the Karlsruhe conurbation, where a broad database is available with over 2000 measurement runs by AERO-TRAM and measuring stations of the LUBW and KIT. In the future, the methodology can also be applied to other regional studies.

This Feasibility Study of Young Scientists is funded by the KIT Future Concept within the framework of the Excellence Initiative.

Mithilfe von mehreren regionalen Klimasimulationen wurden die im Rahmen der Befragung ermittelten Klimakenngrößen für den Kontrollzeitraum (1971-2000) berechnet, mit gemessenen Daten verglichen und für die nahe Zukunft (2021-2050) ausgewertet.

Das zentrale Anliegen der vorliegenden Studie war ein kontinuierlicher Austausch zwischen Anwendung und Klimawissenschaft. Dies erfolgte nicht nur in Form der Befragung, sondern auch in Form der gemeinsamen „Übersetzung“ der praktischen Erfahrungen mit Wetter und Klima in konkrete Zahlenwerte, um eine Klimakenngröße mit den regionalen Klimamodellsimulationen auswerten zu können. Außerdem wurden die berechneten Ergebnisse an die Experten zurückgemeldet und der Handlungsbedarf als Folge der erwarteten zukünftigen Änderungen von diesen eingeschätzt.

Insgesamt konnte der fachliche Austausch das Bewusstsein für die Nutzung von Klimaforschungsergebnissen erhöhen. Diese können als Grundlage für regionale Klimaanpassungsmaßnahmen verwendet werden.
