ENAAC

ENAAC (NSACC) National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change.

Ensemble

A collection of model simulations characterizing a climate prediction or projection. Differences in initial conditions and model formulation result in different evolutions of the modelled system and may give information on uncertainty associated with model error and error in initial conditions in the case of climate forecasts and on uncertainty associated with model error and with internally generated climate variability in the case of climate projections [IPCC, 2013].

Euro cordex

EURO-CORDEX European branch of the international CORDEX initiative.

Evapotranspiration

The combined process of evaporation from the Earth’s surface and transpiration from vegetation [IPCC, 2013].
