Obiettivo To obtain increased accuracy of regional simulations of climateand climate change over Europe.Variable resolution atmospheric general circulation models(AGCMs) and high resolution limited area models, developed andtested in the Regionalization project, will be applied intime-slice regionalizations of coarser coupled atmosphere-oceangeneral circulation models (AOGCMs) control and scenariosimulations.Three high resolution atmospheric limited area models (ALAMs)will be used to "regionalize" new climate simulations from secondgeneration AOGCMs. The lateral boundary fields, SSTs and sea-icefields will be taken from outputs of three AOGCMs (at NCAR, MPIMand UKMO). 5-10 year time-slice ALAM simulations driven by outputfrom present (control) and transiently increasing greenhousegases (scenario) experiments will be made.Similar time-slice simulations will bemade with an AGCM (METEO FRANCE's ARPEGE) using stretchedcoordinates with highest resolution over Europe. The SSTs andsea-ice fields will be taken from one of the above mentionedsets of AOGCM simulations (made with coarser homogeneousresolution).A special study will investigate whether ocean SSTsimulation (in casu the Atlantic SSTs off the Portuguese coast)can be improved using an ocean limited area model (OLAM). Veryhigh resolution climate simulations will be made for specificregions in Europe (northern Europe and the Iberian peninsula) bydriving very high resolution ALAMs with output from the highresolution ALAM simulations.For the greater Alpine area astatistical dynamic methodology will be used to give similarvery high resolution simulations. The methodology combines the useof a mesoscale dynamical model with a statistical classificationscheme for the large scale flow regime.Finally a purely statistical downscaling methodology will be usedto simulate the local climate at a few Danish stations. Thismethodology will use statistical relations between "observed"large scale flow patterns and local weather.The various regional and local climate simulations based on theAOGCM control simulations will be intercompared and evaluatedagainst climatological data in order to estimate upper bounds forthe accuray of the corresponding simulated climate changesproduced from the AOGCM scenario simulations.
