局地気候モデルの開発について-特にネスティングの問題-

Abstract

The recent increase of interest on climate change is mainly directed to detailed description and prediction of local climate changes. The development of global climate models has been done so intensively, however the ability of super-computers limits the resolution of grids of the models.In order to represent smaller-scale local climates, the use of a high resolution limited-area model is tested appling a new nesting method to coupling with a global model.The proposed nesting method showed that a long-term integration could be so smoothly performed and that the local small-scale phenomena in climate could be well simulated in such a higher resolution model nested in a global model.
