英文摘要 | Regional climate models (RCMs) serve as an important tool to perform high resolution climate simulations for a limited area. However, there remains a crucial issue regarding the efficacy of RCMs that whether they are able to produce added value (AV) in representing the regional climatic features compared to their coarse scale driving Global climate models (GCMs). The present study aims at assessing the AV of a set of RCM simulations performed under the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments-South Asia (CORDEX-SA) compared with their respective driving GCMs in representing the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) precipitation and its dynamical features. For this purpose, the performance of RCMs and GCMs is compared for the present day climate (1970-2005) against observations and reanalysis datasets in terms of various ISM features, that is, the spatial distribution of precipitation, the evolution of vertical shear of zonal wind and the onset phase of ISM in terms of delayed or early arrival of monsoon. The RCMs show a clear improvement upon their corresponding driving GCMs in simulating spatial features of precipitation distribution that are characteristically associated with ISM. Regionally, the RCMs also show skill in capturing the precipitation amount as a reduction in bias is found compared with their driving GCMs. There is a significant improvement in the simulation of onset dates of ISM by only some of the experiments particularly, RegCM4 driven with IPSL-CM5A-LR. The study concludes that the present set of CORDEX-SA RCM simulations do indeed add value to their driving GCMs for a number of features associated with the ISM precipitation but this value varies with region, driving GCM and the particular feature of ISM under focus. |
