WP 8.4 – Towards a regional high-resolution convection-permitting climate model for weather scenario generation

Climate modelling at convection-permitting grid spacing (1-2 km) will be considered to produce highresolution regional information for climate change impacts assessments with focus on small-scale extreme events. High-resolution and more skilful climate simulation will be obtained through improved resolution of regional physiography, atmospheric motions, as well as processes at the interface between land and atmosphere, and sea and atmosphere. The adoption of coupled modelling frameworks will be also considered.
