Resumen:
A dynamical downscaling technique, in which a
regional climate model (RCA3-E at 50-km horizontal
resolution) is nested into a global coupled model
(ECHAM5/MPI-OM) was used to study the effects of
twenty-first-century climate change of South America.
Two 20-yr time-slice simulations were performed (1980-
1999 and 2080-2099). The present day performance of
the combined system was compared against CRU data
and against an additional simulation performed with
RCA3-E driven by ERA40 reanalysis.
