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 …

Regional climate models are used by a large number of groups, for more or less all regions
of the world. Regional climate models are complementary to global climate models. A typical …

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 …

General Circulation Models (GCMs) suggest that rising concentrations of greenhouse gases
will have significant implications for climate at global and regional scales. Less certain is the …

The authors describe the construction of a 0.5° lat–long gridded dataset of monthly terrestrial
surface climate for the period of 1901–96. The dataset comprises a suite of seven climate …

The construction of a 0.5° lat× 0.5° long surface climatology of global land areas, excluding
Antarctica, is described. The climatology represents the period 1961–90 and comprises a …
