On the suitability of regional climate models for reconstructing climatologies

摘要: This paper discusses the potential of Regional Climate Models (RCMs) as reanalysis tools by presenting a reconstruction European climate using several RCMs with diverse physical parameterizations. The use is intended to increase spatial resolution analysis provided Global through dynamic downscaling. At same time, models allows us characterize uncertainties, these can be estimated from spread ensemble. When are nested in reanalyses instead Model it possible create climatologies unprecedented robustness for variables such temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and humidity, among others. While subject further improvement methods computing power evolve, they point way forward development atmospheric information products suitable variety studies including education, agriculture, renewable energies change research, biogeography, insurance, risk assessment, hydrology, regional planning.
