We simulate the observed statistical relationship between ENSO and the rainfall regime of the upper Blue Nile using the tropical-band version of the regional climate model RegCM4 (or Reg-TB). An ensemble of nine simulations for the 28-year period 1982–2009 is completed to investigate the role of ENSO in modulating rainfall over the upper Blue Nile catchment. Reg-TB shows a good skill in simulat...

In this study, the impact of gravel was taken into account in regional climate model version 4.7, which driven by ERA-Interim with a resolution 1.5 km numerical experiment. The parameterization schemes and original soil hydrothermal were used simulations on Tibetan Plateau (TP), respectively. performance two simulating moisture (SM) assessed. Moreover, three areas selected terms distribution co...
