We introduce the DROUGHT-HEAT Regional Climate Atlas, an interactive tool to analyse and display a range of well-established climate extremes and water-cycle indices and their changes as a function of global warming. These projections are based on simulations from the 5th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). A selection of example results are presented here, but users can visualize specific indices of interest using the online tool. This implementation enables a direct assessment of regional climate changes associated with global temperature targets, such as the 2 degree and 1.5 degree limits agreed within the 2015 Paris Agreement. publisher: European Geosciences Union date: 2017-09 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text language: en rights: cc_by_nc identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/14495/1/gmd-2017-33.pdf identifier: Wartenburger, R., Hirschi, M., Donat, M.G., Greve, P. , Pitman, A.J., & Seneviratne, S.I.
