Satellite-based climate information within the WMO RA VI Regional Climate Centre on Climate Monitoring [PDF]

Advances in Science and Research, 2014
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) established Regional Climate Centres (RCCs) around the world to create science-based climate information on a regional scale within the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS).

Local ecosystem feedbacks and critical transitions in the climate [PDF]

, 2009
Global and regional climate models, such as those used in IPCC assessments, are the best tools available for climate predictions. Such models typically account for large-scale land-atmosphere feedbacks.

Regional variation in perceptions about climate change. [PDF]

, 2009
A 2007 survey covering rural areas in nine US states provides data on perceived local impacts of climate change. Perceptions vary from region to region, with a pattern suggesting links to real climate specifically to winter warming in snow country.

Thirty Years of Regional Climate Modeling: Where Are We and Where Are We Going next?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019
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 research and of the main challenges lying ahead.

Temperature Response to Changes in Vegetation Fraction Cover in a Regional Climate Model

Atmosphere, 2021
Vegetation plays a key role in partitioning energy at the surface. Meteorological and Climate Models, both global and regional, implement vegetation using two parameters, the vegetation fraction and the leaf area index, obtained from satellite data.

The Ongoing Need for High-Resolution Regional Climate Models: Process Understanding and Stakeholder Information

Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS), 2020
Regional climate modeling addresses our need to understand and simulate climatic processes and phenomena unresolved in global models. This paper highlights examples of current approaches to and innovative uses of regional climate modeling that deepen ...

U.S. East Coast Trough Indices at 500 hPa and New England Winter Climate Variability [PDF]

, 2002
Using monthly gridded 500-hPa data, two synoptic indices are defined to better understand the principle mechanisms controlling intraseasonal to multiannual winter climate variability in NewEngland (NE).

Implementation of Prognostic Cloud Ice Number Concentrations for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Double‐Moment 6‐Class (WDM6) Microphysics Scheme

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
The ice microphysical processes in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Double‐Moment 6‐class (WDM6) microphysics scheme are treated as a single‐moment approach, in which the number concentration of cloud ice is diagnosed based on its mixing ratio.

“Certain Uncertainty: The Role of Internal Climate Variability in Projections of Regional Climate Change and Risk Management”

Earth's Future, 2020
Internal climate variability co‐exists with anthropogenic climate change and places limits on the accuracy of regional climate projections due to its inherent unpredictability.
