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 …

Dryland areas cover about 41% of the Earth's surface and sustain over 2 billion inhabitants.
Soil carbon (C) in dryland areas is of crucial importance to maintain soil quality and …

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 …

North Africa is considered a climate change hot spot. Existing studies either focus on the
physical aspects of climate change or discuss the social ones. The present article aims to …

We revisit the issue of the response of precipitation characteristics to global warming based
on analyses of global and regional climate model projections for the 21st century. The …

We present a review of climate change projections over the Mediterranean region based on
the most recent and comprehensive ensembles of global and regional climate change …

We present an analysis of the added value (AV) of downscaling via regional climate model
(RCM) nesting with respect to the driving global climate models (GCMs). We analyze …

Using the PRECIS regional climate modeling system this study analyses the distribution of
extremes of temperature and precipitation in South America in the recent past (1961–1990) …

This paper describes the construction of a 0.5°× 0.5° daily temperature dataset for the period
of 1961–2005 over mainland China for the purpose of climate model validation. The dataset …

Climatic changes over the Mediterranean basin in 2031–2060, when a 2° C global warming
is most likely to occur, are investigated with the HadCM3 global circulation model and their …
