Ensemble of T&P bias corrected CORDEX data for climate change impact modeling
No full textMany open questions and unresolved issues surround the topic of bias correction (BC) in climate change impact studies (CCIS). While there is an increasing body of literature in hydrology, relatively few studies exist to quantify the impacts of post-processing bias correction methods in agricultural impact models, driven by regional climate model (RCM) data.
We provide daily T&P bias corrected data (based on 4 different BC methods) from 9 different CORDEX GCM-RCM combinations, following the RCP4.5 emission scenario for the period 2006-2100.
The data will be provided to encourage further CCIS across West Africa in agriculture, but also from other disciplines, such as hydrology and energy

Public epistemic authority: normative institutional design for EU Law
No full textInter- and supranational courts derive their legitimacy partly from an institutional comparison: judges' legal expertise and the quality of judicial procedures justify a court's claim to authority towards other branches of government and other courts with overlapping jurisdiction. To provide a benchmark for assessing judicial outcomes that is compatible with democratic commitments, Johann Laux suggests a new normative category, Public Epistemic Authority (PEA). It builds on the mechanisms behind theories of collective intelligence and empirical research on judicial decision-making. PEA tracks judges' collective ability to reliably identify breaches of law. It focuses on cognitive tasks in adjudication. The author applies PEA to the Court of Justice of the European Union and offers suggestions for improving its institutional design

Corporate insurance design with multiple risks and moral hazard
No full textThe paper provides novel insights on the effect of a firm’s risk management objective on the optimal design of risk transfer instruments. I analyze the interrelation between the structure of the optimal insurance contract and the firm’s objective to minimize the required equity it has to hold to accommodate losses in the presence of multiple risks and moral hazard. In contrast to the case of risk aversion and moral hazard, the optimal insurance contract involves a joint deductible on aggregate losses in the present setting
CoSMOP - Global High-Resolution Time Series of Brightness Temperature from SMOS and SMAP-Enhanced
No full textLong and consistent soil moisture time series at adequate spatial resolution are key to foster the application of soil moisture observations and remotely-sensed products in climate and numerical weather prediction models. The two L-band soil moisture satellite missions SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) and SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) are able to provide soil moisture estimates on global scales and in kilometer accuracy. However, the SMOS data record has an appropriate length of 7.5 years since late 2009, but with a coarse resolution of ∼25 km only. In contrast, a spatially-enhanced SMAP product is available at a higher resolution of 9 km, but for a shorter time period (since March 2015 only). Being the fundamental observable from passive microwave sensors, reliable brightness temperatures (Tbs) are a mandatory precondition for satellite-based soil moisture products. We therefore develop, evaluate and apply a copula-based data fusion approach for combining SMAP Enhanced (SMAP_E) and SMOS brightness Temperature (Tb) data. The approach exploits both linear and non-linear dependencies between the two satellite-based Tb products and allows one to generate conditional SMAP_E-like random samples during the pre-SMAP period. Our resulting global Copula-combined SMOS-SMAP_E (CoSMOP) Tbs are statistically consistent with SMAP_E brightness temperatures, have a spatial resolution of 9 km and cover the period from 2010 to 2018.
Currently, the data contains only horizontally polarised retrievals from SMOS's and SMAP's ascending and descending nodes, respectively
