Special Climate Research Issue on Regional Climate Modeling
Last updated
Published
In december 2010 a special issue (CR special 23) devoted to Regional Climate Model (RCM) evaluation and weighting is published in the journal Climate Research (CR). The presented work was undertaken in the European fp6 project ENSEMBLES. SMHI staff has been actively engaged and partly leading the ENSEMBLES RCM work. In the special issue, contributions from the Rossby Centre involves articles on evaluation of daily and monthly temperature and precipitation statistics in RCMs, and assignment of weights to RCMs. Below is a list of the articles which can be read online at the Inter-Research Science Center.
