Initial and boundary conditions | Period | WRF characteristics | Goal |
CFSR (reanalysis) | May 2005-April 2006 | 3 Nested domains (CFSR): 36-12-4 km 4 Nested domains (MPI): 108-36-12-4 km Maximum horizontal resolution: 4km Vertical layers: 30 Nesting: one-way Reinitialized simulations Length time: 36 hours Spin-up: 12 hours Time-Step: 200 minutes (CFSR) and 600 minutes (MPI) | To calibrate the WRF model |
1980-2009 | To validate the WRF model during a climate period representative and to check well-accuracy of WRF simulations forced by the GCM selected | ||
MPI-ESM-MR (GCM) RCP 4.5 | 1980-2009 | To obtain climate values representatives of a historical period | |
2010-2040 | To obtain climate future projections of temperature and precipitation |
