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 …

The city of Venice and the surrounding lagoonal ecosystem are highly vulnerable to
variations in relative sea level. In the past∼ 150 years, this was characterized by an average …

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

Extreme ocean warming events, known as marine heatwaves (MHWs), have been observed
to perturb significantly marine ecosystems and fisheries around the world. Here, we propose …

A new version of the RegCM regional climate modeling system, RegCM4, has been recently
developed and made available for public use. Compared to previous versions, RegCM4 …

The Mediterranean Sea ranks among the ocean regions warming fastest. There is evidence
for impacts of climate change on marine Mediterranean organisms but a quantitative …

The Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate
change “hotspots” of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this …

Regional climate modeling is a dynamical downscaling technique applied to the results of
global climate models (GCMs) in order to acquire more information on climate simulations …

Twenty-first century projections for the Mediterranean water properties have been analyzed
using the largest ensemble of regional climate models (RCMs) available up to now, the Med …

Regional climate models (RCMs) have been developed and extensively applied for
dynamically downscaling coarse resolution information from different sources, such as …
