Description

The RC/CLM Community fine resolution (17 Km) transient simulation (1960-2050) looks into present and future climate for Europe under two IPCC scenarios (A1b and A2).

Regional climate Models (RCMs) can more accurately represent spatial variations of climate forcing such as topography, lakes, land-sea contrast, etc. There is currently a significant on-going effort in developing regional climate modelling systems where RCMs are coupled with other earth system components like hydrological models, ocean and sea-ice models, and terrestrial ecosystem models.

The model implemented and used at JRC is the Cosmo model in Climate Mode (Cosmo-CLM), a state-of-the-art non-hydrostatic, high-resolution weather/climate model originally developed by the DWD (German Weather Service) for operational weather forecast. Continuous development of the model is provided by members of the Cosmo-CLM Community.
