Regional climate models are important research tools available to scientists around the world, including in economically developing nations (EDNs). The Earth Systems Physics (ESP) group of Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical (ICTP) maintains and distributes a state-of-the-science regional model called ICTP Climate Model version 3 (RegCM3), which is currently being used by large community diverse range climate-related studies. RegCM3 central, but not only, tool ICTP-maintained...
Results are presented from high resolution climate change simulations over the Mediterranean region using ICTP Regional Climate Model, RegCM3. Two sets of multi‐decadal performed at 20‐km grid spacing for present day and future (IPCC A2 scenario). We analyze changes in precipitation mean extremes find that signal shows seasonally dependent fine scale structure response to topographic forcing circulation, especially Alpine Iberian, Italian Hellenic peninsulas. In winter, is positive Northern...
Abstract Because of their dependence on water, natural and human systems are highly sensitive to changes in the hydrologic cycle. The authors introduce a new measure hydroclimatic intensity (HY-INT), which integrates metrics precipitation dry spell length, viewing response these two global warming as deeply interconnected. Using suite regional climate model experiments, it is found that increasing HY-INT consistent ubiquitous signature twenty-first-century, greenhouse gas–induced warming....
ABSTRACT The effective temperature ( ET ) is employed to investigate observed changes of thermal comfort conditions over China during the late decades historical observational period. considers aggregate effects temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed describe human sensitivity weather climate. data used in study recently produced gridded daily scale dataset CN05.1 , which covers period 1961–2014 at a resolution 0.25° latitude by longitude. Results show general increase both...
Abstract Two different bias correction methods, the quantile mapping (QM) and delta (QDM), are applied to simulated daily temperature precipitation over China from a set of 21st century regional climate model (the ICTP RegCM4) projections. The RegCM4 is driven by five general circulation models (GCMs) under representative concentration pathway RCP4.5 at grid spacing 25 km using CORDEX East Asia domain. focus on mean in December–January–February (DJF) June–July–August (JJA). impacts two...
BackgroundIn China, most previous projections of heat-related mortality have been based on modeling studies using global climate models (GCMs), which can help to elucidate the risks extreme heat events in a changing climate. However, spatiotemporal changes health effects change considering specific regional characteristics remain poorly understood. We aimed use credible and population estimate future heatwave-attributable deaths under different emission scenarios explore drivers underlying...
In the latest version of International Centre for Theoretical Physics' regional climate model, RegCM4, CLM was introduced as a new land surface scheme. The performance over China RegCM4-CLM with different convection schemes is analyzed in this study, based on series short-term experiments. model driven by ERA-Interim data at grid spacing 25 km. employed are: Emanuel; Grell; Emanuel and Grell ocean; Tiedtke. simulated mean air temperature precipitation December–February–January...
The authors review recent advances in the development of coupled Regional Earth System Models (RESMs), a field that is still its early stages. To date, regional atmosphere-ocean-sea ice, atmosphere-aerosol and atmosphere-biosphere models have been developed, but they applied only to limited settings. Much more work thus needed assess their transferability wide range Future challenges climate modeling are identified, including fully RESMs encompassing not atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere,...
Abstract The new Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluations (CORDEX-CORE) ensemble provides high-resolution, consistent regional climate change projections the major inhabited areas of world. It serves as a solid scientific basis further research related to vulnerability, impact, adaptation and services in addition existing CORDEX simulations. aim this study is investigate document information provided by CORDEX-CORE simulation ensemble, part World Climate Research Programme (WCRP)...
Abstract We describe the first effort within Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment–Coordinated Output for Evaluation, or CORDEX-CORE EXP-I. It consists of a set twenty-first-century projections with two regional climate models (RCMs) downscaling three global model (GCM) simulations from CMIP5 program, greenhouse gas concentration pathways (RCP8.5 and RCP2.6), over nine CORDEX domains at ∼25-km grid spacing. Illustrative examples initial analysis this ensemble are presented,...

This paper investigates the sensitivity of projected future climate changes over China to horizontal resolution a regional model RegCM4.4 (RegCM), using RCP8.5 as an example. Model validation shows that RegCM performs better in reproducing spatial distribution and magnitude present-day temperature, precipitation extremes than driving global HadGEM2-ES (HadGEM, at 1.875° × 1.25° degree resolution), but little difference is found between simulations 50 25 km resolutions. Comparison with...
A set of high resolution (25 km) 21st century climate change projections using the regional model RegCM4 driven by four global simulations were conducted over East Asia under mid-range RCP4.5 scenario. In present paper, authors investigate in thermal comfort conditions china based on an ensemble projections, index effective temperature (ET), which considers aggregate effects temperature, relative humidity, and wind human perception. The analysis also accounts for exposure as measured...
