A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Evaluation of High‐Resolution CORDEX‐CMIP6 Ocean Temperature Simulations for the Great Barrier Reef

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Longevity of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) relies on specific oceanic and atmospheric conditions that are quickly deteriorating under climate change. While global climate models (GCMs) provide insights into large‐scale processes, they often lack the resolution to capture regional nuances affecting the GBR.

Bias Correction and Evaluation of Precipitation Data from the CORDEX Regional Climate Model for Monitoring Climate Change in the Wadi Chemora Basin (Northeastern Algeria)

Atmosphere, 2022
This study aims to provide a brief overview of four regional climate model (RCM) estimations for (Daily, Monthly, Seasonal, and Annual) averaged precipitation over the Wadi Chemora Basin in northeastern Algeria for the historical period (1970–2005) and ...

Assessing Taiwan's Future Climate: High Resolution Projections and Regional Impacts From Statistical Downscaling of CMIP6 Data

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
The Taiwan Empirical‐Statistical Downscaling (TaiESD) dataset utilises quantile mapping (QM) for temperature and quantile delta mapping (QDM) for precipitation bias correction. It was developed to provide high‐resolution climate change information for Taiwan.

Projections of Meteorological Drought and Potential Evapotranspiration Using the RegCM4 Over Northeastern Iran

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
We downscale CanESM2 with the Regional Climate Model version 4 (20 km) and evaluate against 15 stations to derive monthly PET (Hargreaves–Samani) and SPEI for northeastern Iran (1990–2009, 2040–2059, 2080–2099). Results show robust PET increases and a shift toward more negative monthly SPEI—especially April–September—indicating earlier onset and longer

Simulating North American Weather Types With Regional Climate Models

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Regional climate models (RCMs) are able to simulate small-scale processes that are missing in their coarser resolution driving data and thereby provide valuable climate information for climate impact assessments.

CH2018 – National climate scenarios for Switzerland: How to construct consistent multi-model projections from ensembles of opportunity

Climate Services, 2020
The latest Swiss Climate Scenarios (CH2018), released in November 2018, consist of several datasets derived through various methods that provide robust and relevant information on climate change in Switzerland.

EnScale: Temporally‐Consistent Multivariate Generative Downscaling via Proper Scoring Rules

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The practical use of future climate projections from global circulation models (GCMs) is often limited by their coarse spatial resolution, requiring downscaling to generate high‐resolution data. Regional climate models (RCMs) provide this refinement, but are computationally expensive.

CESAR: A Convolutional Echo State AutoencodeR for High‐Resolution Wind Forecasting

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract An accurate and timely assessment of wind speed and energy output allows an efficient planning and management of this resource on the power grid. Wind energy, especially at high resolution, calls for the development of nonlinear statistical models able to capture complex dependencies in space and time. This work introduces a Convolutional Echo
