abstract = {The representation of groundwater processes is simplified
in most regional climate models (RCMs), potentially leading
to biases in simulated heat waves. We introduce aunique
dataset from the regional Terrestrial Systems Modeling
Platform (TSMP) forced by the Max Planck Institute Earth
System Model with Low Resolution (MPI-ESM-LR)historical
boundary conditions in the context of dynamical downscaling
of global climate models (GCMs) for climate change studies.
TSMP explicitly represents 3Dsubsurface and groundwater
hydrodynamics together with overland flow, closing the water
and energy cycle from the bedrock to the top of the
atmosphere. We perform ananalysis of summer heat events
(i.e., a series of consecutive days with a near-surface
temperature exceeding the 90th percentile) for the
historical time period 1976-2005relative to the reference
period 1961-1990 in a TSMP climate change scenario control
run. For comparison, the analysis is repeated for an
ensemble of GCM-RCMsimulations with simplified groundwater
dynamics from the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling
Experiment for European domain (EURO-CORDEX).Our results
show that TSMP simulates the number of heat events
consistently with the CORDEX ensemble, although there are
systematic differences. Compared to theCORDEX ensemble, TSMP
simulates lower mean and interannual variability in the
frequency of hot days (i.e., days with a near-surface
temperature exceeding the 90thpercentile) on average over
Europe. The decadal change in the number of hot days is also
lower in TSMP than on average in the CORDEX ensemble. TSMP
systematicallysimulates fewer heat waves (i.e., heat events
lasting 6 days or more) compared to the CORDEX ensemble,
moreover, they are less intense. We find that Southern
Europe isparticularly sensitive to groundwater coupling,
while Scandinavia is the least sensitive. Therefore, an
explicit representation of groundwater may be a key for bias
reduction insimulated duration and intensity of heat waves,
particularly in Southern Europe. The results emphasise the
importance of groundwater coupling in long-term
regionalclimate simulations and potential implications for
climate change projections. This work is currently under
review for the ESD journal.},
