This study examines future changes in meteorological variables in the European Alps and their relationship to surface temperature.
Utilized the EURO-CORDEX ensemble to analyze 18 climate variables from historical (1981–2010) to future projections (2071–2100, RCP8.5).
Assessed elevation-dependent patterns during winter and spring seasons across model simulations.
Investigated driving mechanisms behind temperature and humidity changes.
Found strong elevation-dependent patterns for minimum temperature, diurnal temperature range, and specific humidity.
Observed significant correlations between surface temperature changes and multiple climate variables with elevation dependence.
Noted that model parameterization heavily influenced variables like heat fluxes and snow cover fraction, showing low coherence among ensemble.
