Abstract

High-quality prognostic fields of meteorological parameters with high spatial resolution are needed for good prediction of glaciers geometry and volume in the Caucasus region. Appropriate source of such data is a subset of regional climate model calculations. In this study, the surface air temperature and monthly precipitation sums in the Caucasus region calculated by the regional climate model SMHI RCA4 from CORDEX experiment for historical (1971-2000) and 2 prognostic periods (2021-2050 and 2071-2100) are considered. Model data for the historical period were compared with the gridded observational dataset CRU TS v4.04.
