Regional Climate Modeling over South America: A Review
This review summarizes the progress achieved on regional climate modeling activities over South America since the early efforts at the beginning of the 2000s until now. During the last 10 years, simulations with regional climate models (RCMs) have been performed for several purposes over the region. Early effortsweremainly focused on sensitivity studies to both physicalmechanisms and technical aspects of RCMs. The last developments were focused mainly on providing high-resolution information on regional climate change.
