英文摘要: The skill of six regional climate models (RCMs) in reproducing short-term (24-yr), observed, near-surface temperature trends when driven by reanalysis is examined. TheRCMs are part of theNorthAmerican Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP). If RCMs can reproduce observed temperature trends, then they are, in a way, demonstrating their ability to capture a type of climate change, whichmay be relevant to their ability to credibly simulate anthropogenic climate changes under future emission scenarios. This study finds that the NARCCAP RCMs can simulate some resolved-scale temperature trends, especially those seen recently in spring and, by and large, inwinter. However, results in other seasons suggest thatRCMperformance in this measure may be dependent on the type and strength of the forcing behind the observed trends. © 2012 American Meteorological Society.
