چکیده

High frequency observations from a field campaign have been compared with time-step precipitation in the WRF regional climate model. Two microphysical schemes of different levels of sophistication have been tested. Both of the schemes generally reproduce the observed precipitation, yet the produced level of wetness is somewhat high, and the intensities rather low. Typical simulated intensities are about 9mm/hr, as opposed to the observed values of approximately 15mm/hr. The simpler scheme performs better in complex terrain. Both schemes show limited skill on flat land.

Comparison of LARS-WG and SDSM Downscaling Models for Prediction Temperature and Precipitation Changes under RCP Scenarios

Various methods developed to convert large-scale data to regional climatic data. In few studies , the results of these methods have been statistically compared. The main purpose of this study was to compare SDSM and LARS-WG models for Downscaling output data of CANE-SM2 and HADGEM2-ES general circulation models under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. For this study, precipitation, minimum an...

Prediction of Climate Change in Western of Iran using Downscaling of HadCM3 Model under Different Scenarios

Abstract    Considering that water resources are at risk from climate change, the study of temperature and precipitation changes in the coming years can lead to droughts such as droughts, sudden floods, high evaporation and environmental degradation. To this end, global climate models (GCMs) are designed to assess climate change. The outputs of these models have low spatial accuracy. In order ...

ارزیابی کارایی مدل شبکه عصبی مصنوعی برای ریزمقیاس نمایی و پیش‌بینی بلندمدت متغیرهای اقلیمی

Atmosphere–ocean coupled global climate models (GCMs) are the main source to simulate the climate of the earth climate. The computational grid of the GCMs is coarse and so, they are unable to provide reliable information for hydrological modelling. To eliminate such limitations, the downscaling methods are used. The present study is focused on simulating the impact of climate change on the beha...

Downscaling reanalysis over continental Africa with a regional model: NCEP versus ERA Interim forcing

Five annual climate cycles (1998-2002) are simulated for continental Africa and adjacent oceans by a regional atmospheric model (RM3). RM3 horizontal grid spacing is 0.44° at 28 vertical levels . Each of 2 simulation ensembles is driven by lateral boundary conditions from each of 2 alternative reanalysis data sets. One simulation downs cales National Center for Environmental Prediction reanalys...
