As part of the project "Climate Experience Würzburg", we have published a new paper (Hartmann et al. 2023) in collaboration with the TU Munich, which deals with the effect of the urban heat island during the years 2018-2020 in Würzburg. We were able to show that the urban heat island is most pronounced on days with more than 25 °C and in the afternoon and evening hours. The highest temperature difference compared to the surrounding areas was 8.2 °C. Resulting drought stress of urban trees significantly reduces their cooling effect.

In collaboration with the Chair of Computer Science X (Data Science) at the University of Würzburg, we have published a paper entitled "ConvMOS: climate model output statistics with deep learning".

We have published a new peer-reviewed paper entitled "Performance of a regional climate model with interactive vegetation (REMO-iMOVE) over Central Asia" in Theoretical and Applied Climatology.

As part of the CLIENT II-project Drought-ADAPT, Daniel Abel from our working group as well as representatives of the other German project participants traveled to Vietnam to exchange ideas with project partners there and to establish contacts with local authorities.
