Sažetak
EURO-CORDEX is an international project that provides downscaled simulations of historical climate and future climate scenarios over identical European domain and at the same regional climate models’ (RCMs) resolutions. In this study, an analysis of the present climate precipitation from a six-member ensemble is presented. All RCMs considered (CLMcom-CCLM, DMI-HIRHAM5, ICTP-RegCM4, IPSL-INERIS-WRF, KNMI-RACMO2 and SMHI-RCA4) were forced with ERA-Interim data over the period 1989-2008. All the models were integrated at the two horizontal resolutions: 50 km and 12.5 km. We examine the skill of RCMs in simulating precipitation and its sensitivity to horizontal resolution in terms of mean seasonal precipitation and interannual variability. In addition, a decomposition of seasonal precipitation into the wet-day frequency and wet-day precipitation is performed for each member of the ensemble. The RCMs are validated against the E-OBS gridded observational data available at the 0.25 deg regular grid.
