Abstract: High-resolution limited-area models (LAMs) have been widely employed to downscale coarse-resolution climate simulations or objective analyses. The growing evidence that LAM climate statistics can be sensitive to initial ...

Abstract: limate models developed within a given research group or institution are prone to share structural similarities, which may induce resembling features in their simulations of the earth?s climate. This assertion, known as ...

Abstract: Previous studies with nested regional climate models (RCMs) have shown that large-scale spectral nudging (SN) seems to be a powerful method to correct RCMs? weaknesses such as internal variability, intermittent divergence ...

Abstract: A modified hybrid terrain-following vertical coordinate has recently been implemented within the Global Environmental Multiscale atmospheric model that introduces separately controlled height-dependent progressive decaying ...
