Abstract/Synopsis: Climate projections of heavy precipitation are highly uncertain. SPIRIT aims to distil credible information from observations, first principles and a range of models, including convection permitting simulations. Objectives are to inregrate climate services; attribute uncertainties; construct an ensemble considering different information sources; distil information on future extreme precipitation; co-explore the results with climate services; develop framework for climate information distillation.
