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 …

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

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 …

We provide an assessment of future daily characteristics of African precipitation by explicitly
comparing the results of large ensembles of global (CMIP5, CMIP6) and regional (CORDEX …

Detecting changes in climate is a prerequisite for a better understanding of the climate and
developing adaptation and mitigation measures at a regional and local scale. In this study …

We employ a large ensemble of Regional Climate Models (RCMs) from the COordinated
Regional-climate Downscaling EXperiment to explore two questions:(1) what can we know …

The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a Diagnostic MIP in
CMIP6. CORDEX builds on a foundation of previous downscaling intercomparison projects …

East Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions of Africa to extreme weather and climate
events. Regional and local information on climate extremes is critical for monitoring and …

It is well established that Africa is particularly exposed to climate extremes including heat
waves, droughts, and intense rainfall events. How exposed Africa is to the co‐occurrence of …

Managing environmental resources under conditions of climate change and extreme climate
events remains among the most challenging research tasks in the field of sustainable …
