Nathalie Schaller is a PhD student at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) under the supervision of Jan Cermak and Reto Knutti. For her PhD project, she investigates the response of the hydrological cycle in atmosphere-ocean general circulation models to different forcings in the context of anthropogenic climate change. Her poster summarizes results of a model evaluation performed for precipitation and shows that on a regional scale, the ensemble mean does not outperform any single model.
