r14 South-East Asia

CORDEX South-East Asia

The Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) is a strategic approach to understand the regional climate changes and the fidelity of climate models. It provides a common modeling framework, where  different groups from all over the world are participating. As a part of the program, CORDEX East Asia domain is intended to establish a common ensemble of climate projections for East Asia.

The COSMO-CLM community employs the regional climate model COSMO-CLM on the South-East Asian modeling domain.

Simulations performed by the CLM-Community

An evaluation run was performed by JLU Gießen using ERAinterim data as boundary forcing for the time period 1984 - 2004. It is a high resolution run at 0.125° (approx. 14 km) with 450 x 240 grid points (see the figure).

An ensemble of climate projections with different GCMs and scenarios is planned to be employed.
