      The increase in computational resources has enabled the emergence of multi-model ensembles of convection-permitting regional climate model (CPRCM) simulations at very high horizontal resolutions. An example is the CORDEX ...

      Here we present the first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale horizontal grid spacing over a decade long period. A total of 23 simulations run with a horizontal grid spacing of ∼3 km, ...
    • Land-atmosphere interactions in sub-polar and alpine climates in the CORDEX flagship pilot study Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS) models-Part 1: Evaluation of the snow-albedo effect 

      Daloz, Anne Sophie; Schwingshackl, Clemens; Mooney, Priscilla A.; Strada, Susanna; Rechid, Diana; Davin, Edouard L.; Katragkou, Eleni; De Noblet-Ducoudré, Nathalie; Belda, Michal; Halenka, Tomas; Breil, Marcus; Cardoso, Rita M.; Hoffmann, Peter; Lima, Daniela C. A.; Meier, Ronny; Soares, Pedro M. M.; Sofiadis, Giannis; Strandberg, Gustav; Toelle, Merja H.; Lund, Marianne Tronstad (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Seasonal snow cover plays a major role in the climate system of the Northern Hemisphere via its effect on land surface albedo and fluxes. In climate models the parameterization of interactions between snow and atmosphere ...
