Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our AGU session on
regional modeling, continuing a tradition that has lasted more
than 10 years. This session should be of interest to regional
model developers, regional model users, researchers working with
regional climate model data, and others focused on regional
scales.
AGU Session A112 - Regional climate: modeling, analysis, and
impacts
Session description: This session focuses on the state
of the art in modeling and analysis of regional climate and
regional climate impacts on subseasonal-to-multidecadal
timescales. Contributions are solicited on coordinated modeling
experiments such as CORDEX; novel approaches for model evaluation
and analysis, especially process-oriented analysis of climate
extremes in observations and simulations; new developments such as
coupled earth system modeling at regional scales and convection
permitting simulations; ensemble methods and uncertainty analyses;
and assessing the added value of regional modeling. Results from
the use of regional models for process understanding, downscaling
of IPCC climate change scenarios, and modeling and analysis of
climate impacts are also encouraged.
Conveners: L. Ruby Leung (PNNL), Melissa S. Bukovsky
(NCAR), Paul A. Ullrich (UC Davis)
Best wishes,
