abstract = {This study combines the method of climate analogue regions
with a bioclimatic approach. Bioclimate analogue regions
were determined for the Rhenish lignite mining area in
western Germany, which will face a major structural change
in the following decades. These analogue regions currently
experience a similar number of days with heat stress
compared to the projected future (RCP8.5) at the end of the
century in the investigation area. The method is based on
the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) parameters
temperature, solar radiation, wind and relative humidity in
3-h temporal resolution while taking day- and night-time
values into account. The analogues were calculated for an
ensemble of 15 GCM-RCM model combinations from EURO-CORDEX
data. The results suggest that analogue regions of the
Rhenish lignite mining area are most likely to be found in
southern Europe. The highest similarities for the whole
ensemble can be found around the Gulf du Lion in southern
France. However, some other regions, e.g. around the Black
Sea, north of the Balkan Mountains or south of Bordeaux are
good fits in some individual model results. While some of
these regions are in accordance with previous studies on
climate analogue regions, some others were unexpected. The
study further shows advantages of using full-coverage
instead of punctual data for climate analogue determination,
as the results in this study exhibit a high level of spatial
detail. For areas facing major structural changes, knowledge
of possible climate futures and their present examples can
be key aspects for regional planning.},
