The simulation of European heat waves from an ensemble of regional climate models within the EURO-CORDEX project
Original language description
The ability of a large ensemble of regional climate models to accurately simulate heat waves at the regional scale of Europe was evaluated. Within the EURO-CORDEX project, several state-of-the art models were run for a time period of 20 years over Europe. Eight models were run in high resolution of 12 km, and thirteen models were run at a classical resolution of 50 km. All models were driven by the ERA-Interim re-analysis. Results, which are compared with daily temperature and precipitation observations(ECA&D and E-OBS data sets), show that the ensemble exhibits a large spread. A preliminary analysis of the sources of spread shows that the simulation of hot temperature is primarily sensitive to the convection and the microphysics schemes. Most modelsexhibit overestimation of summer temperature extremes in Mediterranean regions and an underestimation over Scandinavia. The simulated heat wave events were found to be too persistent, but a higher resolution reduced this deficiency. The a
