Four sets of downscaling simulations based on the Eta Regional Climate Model forced by two global climate models, HadGEM2-ES and MIROC5, RCP scenarios—8.5 4.5, have been carried out. The objective this work is to assess change over South America simulations. future changes are shown in timeslices 30 years: 2011-2040; 2041-2070 2071-2100. response nested larger than MIROC5. Major warming area located central part Brazil. In austral summer, reduction precipitation increase southeastern...

To provide long-term simulations of climate change at higher resolution, Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are nested in global models (GCMs). The objective this work is to evaluate the Eta RCM driven by three models, HadGEM2-ES, BESM, and MIROC5, for present period, 1961-1990. domain covers South America, Central Caribbean. These will be used assessment projections region. Maximum temperatures generally underestimated domain, particular MIROC5 simulations, summer winter seasons. Larger spread...

Upgrades implemented over a number of years in an open source version the Eta model, posted at CPTEC web site http://etamodel.cptec.inpe.br/ , are summarized and examples benefits shown. The originates from NCEP's Workstation code on NCEP http://www.emc.ncep.noaa.gov/mmb/wrkstn_eta which differs latest operational by having WRF-NMM nonhydrostatic option included. Most upgrades made resulted attention paid to less than satisfactory performance noted several results, identification reasons for...

Abstract. Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction, especially the prediction of extreme hydroclimate events such as droughts and floods, is not only scientifically challenging, but also has substantial societal impacts. Motivated by preliminary studies, Global Energy Water Exchanges (GEWEX)/Global Atmospheric System Study (GASS) launched a new initiative called “Impact Initialized Land Surface Temperature Snowpack on Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction” (LS4P) first international grass-roots...

Abstract Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) precipitation prediction in boreal spring and summer months, which contains a significant number of high-signal events, is scientifically challenging skill has remained poor for years. Tibetan Plateau (TP) observed surface ­temperatures show lag correlation with several remote regions, but current global land–atmosphere coupled models are unable to represent this behavior due errors producing TP temperatures. To address these issues, the Global Energy...
