The year 2019 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the development of the first regional climate
model (RCM), and here an overview is provided of the progress in regional modeling …

Abstract Regional Climate Models (RCMs) emerged 30 years ago as a transient tool to
provide detailed estimates of meteorological parameters (temperature, precipitation …

Summary Nested Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are increasingly used for climate-

This review summarizes the progress achieved on regional climate modeling activities over
South America since the early efforts at the beginning of the 2000s until now. During the last …

The uncertainties in current global and regional climate model integrations are partly related
to the representation of clouds, moist convection, and complex topography, thus motivating …

Regional climate models are used by a large number of groups, for more or less all regions
of the world. Regional climate models are complementary to global climate models. A typical …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature on projected changes in major climate
phenomena and more specifically their relevance for future change in regional climates …

Regional climate modeling is a dynamical downscaling technique applied to the results of
global climate models (GCMs) in order to acquire more information on climate simulations …
