Abstract

A regional energy-balance climate model has been developed to interprete the physical processes, leading to regional temperature changes /1/, in connection with global climate forcings. Parameterizations of the radiation balance in terms of regional temperatures and sunshine duration are based on analogue METEOSAT-2 images and NIMBUS-7 ERB measurements. Horizontal advection of sensible and latent heat and the thermal inertia are also parameterized using traditional data sources. Model experiments with CO 2 and volcanic forcings are presented.
