Regional Climate Models
Summary
¥Regional climate models provide a basis for dynamical downscaling for climate impacts or process studies.
¥The sources of variability in regional climate models are not the same as in global climate models because the solutions are constrained by the large-scale input data.
¥As with global climate models, there appears to be benefit in producing ensembles of regional climate simulations:
¥Given multiple simulations, how do we construct an ensemble?
