High resolution experiments with the ALADIN-Climate regional climate model 1stOctober 2009, Toulouse, France Gabriella Csima (Hungarian Meteorological Service)
OUTLINE • The ALADIN-Climate model & experiment • Validation results • Results of the projection • Summary, conclusions
The ALADIN-CLIMATE model modification of the physical parameterization package ARPEGE/IFS Global circulation model ARPEGE-Climat Global climate model (early 90’s) ARPEGE-Climat Global climate model PHISICS ALADIN-Climate Regional climate model (middle of 90’s) Adaptation to Hungary in 2005 ALADIN Limited area model (LAM) DYNAMICS
Domain and orography ALADIN-Climate domain and orography ~10 km ARPEGE-Climate orography ~50 km
Difference of annual mean temperature MODEL – CRU [oC] (1960 – 1989) 10 km; LBC: ERA-40 10 km; LBC: ARPEGE ~50 km – ARPEGE global model
Difference of seasonal mean temperature MODEL – CRU [oC] (1960-1989) Spring Summer Autumn Winter 10km – LBC: ERA-40 10km – LBC: ARPEGE ~50 km – ARPEGE global model
Annual relative difference of precipitation(MODEL – CRU)/CRU [%] (1960-1989) 10 km; LBC: ERA-40 10 km; LBC: ARPEGE ~50 km – ARPEGE global model
Seasonal relative difference of precipitation(MODEL – CRU)/CRU [%] (1960-1989) Spring Summer Autumn Winter 10km – LBC: ERA-40 10km – LBC: ARPEGE ~50 km – ARPEGE global model

Conclusions Validation: • The ALADIN-Climate model is too cold andtoo wet • No added value (ARPEGE-Climate has slightly better results than the ALADIN-Climate) • ERA40 („perfect” LBCs) results are not better • Spurious noise along the boundaries => THE DOMAIN IS TOOSMALL! Projection: • Significant warming trend • Strongest temperature increase in late summer • Basically no change of annual precipitation amount – significant only: the summer drying at the end of the century
