¥How general are regional climate models?
¥Does ÒtuningÓ a model for one region limit the model's skill for other regions?
¥How well do models perform outside their Òcomfort zoneÓ of regions where they have previously been applied?
¥Run multiple models on multiple domains
¥A "model" is a specific configuration of a
specific code.
¥Many codes include several options for a given physical parameterization.
¥Hold model
choices constant for all domains. No adjustments
for different domains.
¥Hypothesis:
Testing regional models in this way may tell us something about their applicability in a changing climate.
