Application of a new wind gust parameterization : multiscale case studies performed with the Canadian regional climate model

Goyette, Stéphane ; Brasseur, Olivier ; Beniston, Martin

In: Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003, vol. 108, no. 13, p. 1-16

The implementation of a physically based parameterization scheme for computation of wind gusts in a numerical regional climate model (RCM) is described in this paper. The method is based on an innovative approach proposed by Brasseur [2001] that assumes that gusts occurring at the surface result from the deflection of air parcels flowing higher in the boundary layer. Our parameterization scheme...

The 2003 heat wave in Europe: A shape of things to come? An analysis based on Swiss climatological data and model simulations

In: Geophysical Research Letters, 2004, vol. 31, p. L02202

The 2003 heat wave that affected much of Europe from June to September bears a close resemblance to what many regional climate models are projecting for summers in the latter part of the 21st century. Model results suggest that under enhanced atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations, summer temperatures are likely to increase by over 4°C on average, with a corresponding increase in the...
