DYNAMICAL DOWNSCALING OF PRECIPITATION IN NORTHEAST BRAZIL WITH A REGIONAL CLIMATE
MODEL DURING CONTRASTING YEARS

 

Cláudio Moisés Santos e Silva*

 

Abstract

The version 4 of the RegionalClimate Model (RegCM4) was used to perform high
resolution (20 km) simulationsduring the autumns of 1998 and 1999 in Northeast
Brazil (NEB). The RegCM4showed improvements in comparison with the dataset of Era
Interim reanalysis.The experiment based on Emanuel MIT parameterization tends to
overestimate theobserved precipitation while the Grell experiment underestimates it.
Theresults suggest that the RegCM4 shows potential to diagnostic and
prognosticapplications in NEB.
