RISA Investigation of the Sensitivity of Simulated Precipitation to Model Resolution and Its Implications for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the sensitivity of a regional atmospheric model to horizontal resolution and topographic forcing. The model is run for January and July month-long simulations over the European region at gridpoint ...
Development of a Second-Generation Regional Climate Model (RegCM2). Part I: Boundary-Layer and Radiative Transfer Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the last few years the development of a second-generation regional climate modeling system (RegCM2) has been completed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Based upon the National Center for ...
Elevation Dependency of the Surface Climate Change Signal: A Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented from a present-day and a doubled CO2 experiment over the Alpine region with a nested regional climate model. The simulated temperature change signal shows a substantial elevation dependency, mostly ...
Development of a Second-Generation Regional Climate Model (RegCM2). Part II: Convective Processes and Assimilation of Lateral Boundary Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we continue the description of a second-generation regional climate model (RegCM2) initiated in the companion paper by Giorgi et al. We first discuss the inclusion in the model of the cumulus cloud scheme ...
