  abstract = {{T}he climate change impact on mean and extreme precipitation events in the northern {M}editerranean region is assessed using high-resolution {E}uro{CORDEX} and {M}ed-{CORDEX} simulations. {T}he focus is made on three regions, {L}ez and {A}ude located in {F}rance, and {M}uga located in northeastern {S}pain, and eight pairs of global and regional climate models are analyzed with respect to the {SAFRAN} product. {F}irst the model skills are evaluated in terms of bias for the precipitation annual cycle over historical period. {T}hen future changes in extreme precipitation, under two emission scenarios, are estimated through the computation of past/future change coefficients of quantile-ranked model precipitation outputs. {O}ver the 1981-2010 period, the cumulative precipitation is overestimated for most models over the mountainous regions and underestimated over the coastal regions in autumn and higher-order quantile. {T}he ensemble mean and the spread for future period remain unchanged under {RCP}4.5 scenario and decrease under {RCP}8.5 scenario. {E}xtreme precipitation events are intensified over the three catchments with a smaller ensemble spread under {RCP}8.5 revealing more evident changes, especially in the later part of the 21st century.},
