  1. Application of RegCM3 to Climate Research in South America, Central America and the Caribbean

  2. Objectives • Calibration and validation of the model RegCM3 for the domains of interest • Development of a climatology for the model for the domains of interest. • Development of a data base for climate variability studies from intra-seasonal to inter-annual time scales. • Multiple nesting for specific regions. (Peru and Cuba, Caribean Islands, San Paulo) • Comparison between ETA and RegCM3 • Hydrology of Parana La Plata Basin • Domains: • South America (20 N – 50 S; 20 W- 100 W) • Central America and the Caribbean. • (0N-35N; 50W-110W)

  3. Technical aspects: • Period for climatology: 1981-1990 • Period for tuning purposes: 2 month of data (El Nino, La Nina) • Resolution: • 60 km for South America • 25 km for Central America and the Caribbean. • Sensitivity tests to: convection schemes • resolution • domain • ICBC (NCEP and ECMWF) • Potential Funding source: IAI,

  4. Participants • Countries: • Argentina (CIMA) • Brazil (USP, CPTEC, UFPR) • Peru (IGP) • Chile ? • Cuba ? • Mexico UNAM • People: Anji Seth
