Sažetak
As a part of the EURO-Cordex project, two 20-yr integrations (1989-2008) of the Regional Climate Model RegCM4 (Giorgi et al. 2012) over Europe were performed at the Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia (DHMZ). Both simulations were driven with ERA-Interim (Dee et al. 2011) data but at different horizontal resolutions: 50 km and 12.5 km. In this study we validate simulated precipitation from both experiments against observed gridded data over Europe. The next step will be to focus on the Croatian mountain areas where largest precipitation amounts occur. High and steep orography and proximity of the Adriatic Sea play a major role in precipitation formation, making these regions suitable to evaluate simulated local precipitation from both experiments and assess the potential improvements in the high resolution experiment.
