CYPRIM Project Consortium HyMeX Initiative (Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment)

Short Summary

This paper outlines the CYPRIM project, which aims to characterize intense precipitation events in the Mediterranean region under climate change scenarios using high-resolution atmospheric (Meso-NH) and hydrological modeling (TOPMODEL, SIM), leading directly to the formation of the HyMeX initiative.

Objective

• Characterize intense precipitation systems in the Mediterranean region based on large and medium-scale environmental conditions.
• Simulate intense precipitation events using a high-resolution climate scenario over the Mediterranean area.
• Evaluate the resulting hydrological consequences, specifically in terms of river discharge (flow rate).

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Mediterranean region; Focus on large, medium, and high-resolution scales for modeling.
• Temporal Scale: Climate change context; Focus on the frequency and intensity variation of specific intense precipitation events.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Meso-NH (Mesoscale Non-Hydrostatic atmospheric model); TOPMODEL (Hydrological model); SIM (Hydrological model).
• Data sources: High-resolution climate scenario data specific to the Mediterranean zone; Large and medium-scale environmental data used for system characterization.

Main Results

• The scientific interest generated by the CYPRIM project and related research served as a catalyst for the creation of the HyMeX (Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment) initiative.
• A white paper is currently being drafted to mobilize the scientific community around a major measurement campaign and a research project focused on the regional water cycle, intense precipitation events, and regional climate change.

Contributions

• Development of an integrated modeling chain (atmospheric simulation via Meso-NH coupled with hydrological models TOPMODEL and SIM) designed to assess the impact of climate change on Mediterranean hydrological systems (discharge in cubic meters per second).
• Served as a foundational project that directly led to the establishment of the large-scale, international HyMeX research initiative.
