| Zusammenfassung |
| As a first step toward downscaling global model simulations of future
climates for the eastern Mediterranean Sea and surrounding land area,
mesoscale-model simulations with the Pennsylvania State University –
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) mesoscale model, version 5
(MM5) are verified in the context of precipitation amount. The simulations
are driven with January NCAR-NCEP reanalysis project (NNRP) lateral-boundary
conditions and assimilate surface and upper air observations. The results of
the simulations compare reasonably well with rain gauge and satellite
estimates of monthly total precipitation, and the model reproduces the
overall trends in inter-annual precipitation variability for one test
region. Cyclones during the period were tracked, and their properties
identified. |
