29 Summary - Wide range of test runs (domain, schemes, vertical levels ) - RegCM Beta reproduces well the observed surface air temperature, from climatology to interannual and decadal scales (except winter) - RegCM Beta tends to overestimate precipitation - The modell is able to reproduce the interannual variability of precipitation and dry/wet spells as well - On local scale, RegCM Beta shows good agreement with station data - Warmer and drier summers, and warmer but wetter winters can be expected in far future (Hungary)

30 Future plans - Mini ensembeles cooperating with the Hungarian Meteorological Service (4 regional models: Aladin, REMO, PRECIS, RegCM)
