A simple scaling approach to produce climate scenarios of local precipitation extremes for the Netherlands

Scenarios of future changes in small scale precipitation extremes for the Netherlands are presented. These scenarios are based on a new approach whereby changes in precipitation extremes are set proportional to the change in water vapor amount near the surface as measured by the 2m dew point tempera...
