This paper analyzes the capabilities of Limited Area Model COSMO-CLM to simulate the main features of the observed climate over an area characterized by complex terrain. A simulation driven by ERA40 Reanalysis of the XX century climate (1971-2000) has been performed at a spatial resolution of 8...

This report represents the description of the first activity performed within the work package 7.1.6 of the "B action" in the Gemina project. The "B action" of the Gemina project concerns the consolidation and development of international scientific network. In particular the cooperation between...

Stochastic disaggregation model, based on coupling of the modified version of the Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse stochastic rainfall model and proportional adjusting procedure, is shown to disaggregate daily observed precipitation to hourly scale. Furthermore synthetic hourly time series are...

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...

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...

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...
