We review the challenges and future perspectives of regional climate model (RCM), or
dynamical downscaling, activities. Among the main technical issues in need of better …

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 …

An important challenge in current climate modeling is to realistically describe small-scale
weather statistics, such as topographic precipitation and coastal wind patterns, or regional …

It is well known that regional climate simulations are sensitive to the size and position of the
domain chosen for calculations. Here we study the physical mechanisms of this sensitivity …

Developments in synoptic climatology in the 1990s included advances in traditional synoptic
climatology, empirical downscaling, and dynamical downscaling (ie regional climate …

A methodology is described for probabilistic predictions of future climate. This is based on a
set of ensemble simulations of equilibrium and time-dependent changes, carried out by …

At the end of the nineteenth century, researchers put forward the hypothesis that the Polar
regions may play the key role in shaping the global climate. This supposition then found full …

Summary Nested Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are increasingly used for climate-
change projections in order to achieve spatial resolutions that would be computationally …

The large-scale Land-Uses and Land-Cover Changes (LULCC) in India in the past several
decades is primarily driven by anthropogenic factors that influence the climate from regional …

To study the internal variability of the model and its consequences on seasonal statistics,
large ensembles of twenty 3-month simulations of the Canadian Regional Climate Model …
