The
specific characteristics are:
- A regional high-resolution
coupled model for the European/Arctic region
- A coupled model
in "historical" simulations for the period from 1948 to
2001 using the available data from the NCEP reanalysis project as
atmospheric boundary values. The "historical" dataset will
also be used for model validation
- A regional coupled
AOGCM to get reliable regional estimates of future climate changes
in the European/Arctic region using data from the coarser resolution
coupled atmosphere-ocean models. A transient climate response experiment
with a 1% CO2 increase scenario is used as atmospheric boundary condition
- Products containing
special climate change indicators covering both, the historical and
the future climate change simulations are provided to the EUROCLIM
system
