Abstract
As a founding member of the COSMO Consortium, the Hellenic National Meteorological Service considers the climatic version (CCLM) of the COSMO Model as a suitable candidate towards the investigation of the climate of the wider area of Greece as well as a potential tool for seasonal forecasting. Of particular importance is the non-hydrostatic formulation of the Model that makes it applicable for downscaling at a horizontal spatial resolution between 1 and 20 km. The model performance is examined at the 0.06250 resolution for the wider area of Greece. The forcing was applied by employing dynamical downscaling on the existing results of CCLM over the MENA-CORDEX domain at 0.220. These data were provided by CMCC Foundation, where CCLM was forced by the CMCC-CM global model over the period 1979-2005 for the historical simulation. At a later stage, the goal is to go beyond this period by using the results from GCM CMCC-CM for scenario simulations over the 21st century according to the IPCC RCP4.5 scenario.
