TL;DR: In this paper, an 8 km-resolution atmospheric reanalysis over France performed with the Safran-gauge-based analysis system for the period 1958-2008 is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by a need for stronger harmonisation of research efforts is described. But despite the diversity of the participants (230 scientists in total), the process revealed much about community priorities and the state of our science: a preference for continuity in research questions rather than radical departures or redirections from past and current work.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution retrospective analysis of such droughts in France over the last fifty years, based on the Safran-Isba-Modcou (SIM) hydrometeorological suite, is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review on the space-time variability of climate variables driving the intermittency of wind, solar and hydropower production and their joint management in electricity systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the key issues in research on climate change impacts on droughts, with a specific focus on the Mediterranean region, in order to: i) redefine more meaningful drought metrics tailored to the Mediterranean context, better take into account vegetation and its feedback on dunes, improve the modelling and forecasting of drought events through remote sensing and land surface models, and promote a more integrated vision of dunes taking into account both water availability and water use.
