This study presents the results of a dynamically downscaled high resolution (about 8 km) climate simulation over Italy, produced with COSMO-CLM model, forced by ERA-Interim reanalysis and covering the time period from 1979 to 2011. Model results have been analysed in terms of two-meter...

This paper analyzes the capabilities of the regional climate model COSMO-CLM to simulate the main features of the observed climate over the entire Italian domain. Two simulations on the period 1971-2000, driven by ERA40 Reanalysis and by the CMCC-MED global model respectively, have been...

The present study describes the capability of the regional climate model COSMO-CLM to represent the present climate of the Mediterranean area. To this aim, a simulation over the period 1979-2011 has been performed, using as forcing the ERA-Interim Reanalyses: the purpose is to investigate the...

The present study describes a simulation of the past period 1979-2011 performed with the regional climate model COSMO-CLM over the Chinese region. To carry out this simulation, the ERA-Interim Reanalyses have been used as forcing and a resolution of 0.125◦ (about 14km) has been adopted. The...
