Vortrag


Mountains play a major role in shaping the weather and climate of the world but the current understanding of mountain climate and how it will change with further warming of the atmosphere is still very limited. The uncertainty is in large part related to the coarse grid spacing of current climate models (12-50 kilometers in regional and >50 kilometers in global climate models), which are not able to properly represent the complex mountainous orography and related processes. Thus, employing climate models with a kilometer-scale grid spacing provides a promising path. Here, I will present results based on multi-model ensemble simulations performed with a km-scale horizontal grid spacing over the region of Europe (focusing on the European Alps) and High Mountain Asia conducted within international programmes (i.e., within CORDEX-FPS: Coordinate Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment - Flagship Pilot Study) and results based on an individual model using a GPU-capable version of the COSMO (COnsortium for Small-Scale MOdelling) climate model. The presentation will focus on the added value of high-resolution models in simulating present-day climate and future changes of the mountain climate.
