Abstract EN
The regional climate model HIRHAM has been applied over the Asian continent to simulate the Indian monsoon circulation under present-day conditions.
The model is driven at the lateral and lower boundaries by European reanalysis (ERA40) data for the period from 1958 to 2001.
Simulations with a horizontal resolution of 50 km are carried out to analyze the regional monsoon patterns.
The focus in this paper is on the validation of the long-term summer monsoon climatology and its variability concerning circulation, temperature, and precipitation.
Additionally, the monsoonal behavior in simulations for wet and dry years has been investigated and compared against several observational data sets.
The results successfully reproduce the observations due to a realistic reproduction of topographic features.
The simulated precipitation shows a better agreement with a high-resolution gridded precipitation data set over the central land areas of India and in the higher elevated Tibetan and Himalayan regions than ERA40.
