| Abstract |
Producing climate projections with a regional climate model (RCM) has the potential to improve (a) the understanding of the climate system as well as (b) the knowledge about future climate changes. As research activity, the usage of RCMs is restricted to that part of the climate community that has access to modern high performance computing facilities. Configuring the model and keeping the simulation running requires knowledge of many technical details.
We introduce a preconfigured, easy-to-use version of the RCM REMO (Jacob, 2001). This model is applicable on a common PC and can, due to a reduced complexity to use the model, also be applied as a capacity building tool.
Furthermore, in order to keep computing time as short as possible, we investigate the effects of calculating parts of the model on a common graphical processing unit (GPU). |
