A Regional climate simulation over Japan nested with JRA-25

Global warming affects not only on long range environment but also on short timescale phenomena such as exterme events and their frequency (Boo,2004,, Kamiguchi et al., 2006). Although reanalysis data is quite useful for large scale investigations, higher resolution data is required in order to investigate regional extreme climate change. Our aim is to obtain more detailed dynamical data over Japan from reanalysis data using a regional climate model. W
