Regional Climate Models (RCMs)

Regional Climate Models (RCMs) are specialized computer tools that simulate climate conditions within a specific geographic area, such as a country or a region. They use detailed data and complex algorithms to predict patterns of temperature, rainfall, wind, and other climate factors. RCMs incorporate larger-scale climate information from global models but focus on finer details to provide more accurate and localized climate projections. This helps researchers and policymakers plan for future climate impacts, assess risks, and develop strategies for adaptation and resilience at a regional level.
