1 Dynamical downscaling of ERA-40 with WRF in complex terrain in Norway – comparison with ENSEMBLES U. Heikkilä, A. D. Sandvik and A. Sorteberg

2 Motivation Expected change in rainfall (SRES A1B) Dryer Wetter Dryer
Bergen

3 Motivation: precipitation on Norwegian west coast
November – Januar 2007 Nov Jan 2005: mm Nov 2006 – Jan 2007: mm 2005 1993 1992

4 More extremes observed

5 High-resolution climatology in Norway
ERA-40 (1.1 deg.) WRF to 30 km and 10 km – nudged and free Arpege GCM (appr. 50 km) - nudged and free Control run: Evaluation against surface parameters of Norwegian met. office “Comparison” with 12 RCM’s from ENSEMBLES project

6 Domain: 30 km – 10 km

7 Details Very large outer domain to increase RCM independency
30 km / 10 km / 40 vertical levels to 50 hPa Default microphysics, PBL schemes Noah land-surface, CAM radiation 1-way nesting Spectral nudging in outer domain waves -> 1000 km no nudging in PBL weak nudging (every 24 hrs) of u,v,gph no nudging of humidity

8 Results – precipitation ERA40 – WRF nudged
Bias of 30-year mean daily precipitation (%)

9 Results - precipitation

10 Results – precipitation ERA40 – WRF nudged
0.95 0.99 0.8 0.6 0.9 0.7

11 Results – 2m temperature ERA40 – WRF nudged

12 Results – 2m temperature ERA40 – WRF nudged

13 Results - overview

14 Sensitivity to nudging - precipitation
NUDGED FREE

15 Sensitivity to nudging - precipitation
ERA-40 Arpege N to ERA40

16 Summary WRF reproduces observed climate 1961-1990 reasonably well
10 km resolution improves precipitation, surface temperature and winds extremes better represented High resolved North Atlantic advantageous for Norwegian (European) west coast: phase of precipitation events improved temperature bias significantly reduced, especially between regions spectral nudging essential to keep low pressure systems consistent with driving data What about forcing with GCM data?
