This study aims to present a comprehensive spatio-temporal performance analysis of two water balance variables, precipitation and evapotranspiration, simulated by Regional Climate Models (RCM) multi-model ensembles. We evaluate simulations from RCMs the Coordinated Downscaling Experiment in largest hydrological basins South America, Amazon River basin La Plata basin. Information was analyzed at...

Abstract The ability of the Regional Climate Model v4 (RegCM4) to simulate surface radiation budget and hydrological balance variables over South America have been evaluated. For this purpose, a 34-year long simulation was carried out with regional climate model RegCM4 on CORDEX domain. is forcing by ERA-Interim reanalysis. results show that simulates main patterns associated in four seasons ye...

Two simulations of five years (2003-2007) were conducted with the Regional Climate models RegCM4, one coupled Land surface BATS and other CLM4.5 over West Africa, where simulated air temperature precipitation analyzed. The purpose this study is to assess performance RegCM4 new scheme standard named in order find best configuration African. This could improve our understanding sensitivity land m...

Impact studies have contributed to a better integrated scientific understanding of the climate and environment Amazon, in present, past, future. This work aims describe regional impacts human-induced landcover changes on RAINY (January April) DRY (July November) regime Metropolitan Region Belém (MRB), first frontier Amazonian occupation. Furthermore, dynamic downscaling (RegCM4 driven by HadGEM...

The characteristics of tropical cyclone (TC) activity over five TC basins lying within four Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) domains are examined for present and future climate conditions using a new ensemble simulations completed as part the CORDEX-CORE initiative with regional model RegCM4. conducted at 25 km horizontal grid spacing driven by three CMIP5 general circulatio...

Under the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments-East Asia (CORDEX-EA-II), outputs from two regional climate models (RCMs) driven by four global (GCMs) are used to investigate characteristics and possible mechanisms of projected elevation-dependent warming (EDW) over Tibetan Plateau (TP) under Representative Concentration Pathway emission scenario 8.5 (RCP8.5). Results show that w...
