This most recent model version is currently still in a test phase. The simulation quality for this part of the entire simulation area is exemplarily analyzed by using a small but representative subset of model variables. Mean sea level pressure is chosen as an indicator for the behavior of the near-surface dynamics. Furthermore, the two regional variables 2 m temperature and precipitation are evaluated, which are of relevance for hydrological applications. For additional analyses to identify sources of uncertainty, we used soil moisture and cloudiness. Altogether, the accuracy of the simulation results can be judged as being in good agreement with the results of similar simulations by other regional climate models over Europe. Area-averaged monthly mean 2 m temperatures during winter show a cold bias of about -2 K. The simulated mean sea level pressure is with a bias of about 2 hPa slightly too high compared to the used reference data set. Although cloud cover evaluation hints at insufficiencies in the corresponding parameterization, further analyses are required to unambiguously identify the causes for this cold bias. During summer, higher 2 m temperatures linked to reduced precipitation are identified in nearly identical regions over southern and southeastern Europe. Further analyses of soil moisture evolution and cloud cover give evidence for a source of uncertainty in the surface hydrological scheme. Altogether, the detected differences do not exceed the typical ranges of uncertainty in comparable regional climate simulations over Europe. For input in hydrological applications, however, the uncertainties produced by the CCLM simulation described here have to be reduced in the medium term.}, language = {en} } @techreport{HollwegBoehmFastetal., author = {Hollweg, Heinz-Dieter and B{\"o}hm, Uwe and Fast, Irina and Hennemuth, Barbara and Keuler, Klaus and Keup-Thiel, Elke and Lautenschlager, Michael and Legutke, Stephanie and Radtke, Kai and Rockel, Burkhardt and Schubert, Martina and Will, Andreas and Woldt, Michael and Wunram, Claudia}, title = {Ensemble Simulations over Europe with the Regional Climate Model CLM forced with IPCC AR4 Global Scenarios}, publisher = {Max-Planck-Institut f{\"u}r Meteorologie}, address = {Hamburg}, doi = {10.2312/WDCC/MaD_TeReport_No03}, pages = {152}, abstract = {Regional climate projections have been performed for Europe with the climate version CLM (version 3.1) of the 'Lokal-Modell' (LM) of the German Meteorological Service.

Climatological parameters including all model variables and additional quantities characterising the climate are available from the World Data Centre for Climate database run by the German climate service group Model and Data. They can be accessed by the general public at no costs with the help of M and D.
