abstract = {A recently launched project under the auspices of the World
Climate Research Program’s (WCRP) Coordinated Regional
Downscaling Experiments Flagship Pilot Studies program
(CORDEX-FPS) is presented. This initiative aims to build
first-of-its-kind ensemble climate experiments of convection
permitting models to investigate present and future
convective processes and related extremes over Europe and
the Mediterranean. In this manuscript the rationale,
scientific aims and approaches are presented along with some
preliminary results from the testing phase of the project.
Three test cases were selected in order to obtain a first
look at the ensemble performance. The test cases covered a
summertime extreme precipitation event over Austria, a fall
Foehn event over the Swiss Alps and an intensively
documented fall event along the Mediterranean coast. The
test cases were run in both “weather-like” (WL,
initialized just before the event in question) and
“climate” (CM, initialized 1 month before the event)
modes. Ensembles of 18–21 members, representing six
different modeling systems with different physics and
modelling chain options, was generated for the test cases
(27 modeling teams have committed to perform the longer
climate simulations). Results indicate that, when run in WL
mode, the ensemble captures all three events quite well with
ensemble correlation skill scores of 0.67, 0.82 and 0.91.
They suggest that the more the event is driven by
large-scale conditions, the closer the agreement between the
ensemble members. Even in climate mode the large-scale
driven events over the Swiss Alps and the Mediterranean
coasts are still captured (ensemble correlation skill scores
of 0.90 and 0.62, respectively), but the inter-model spread
increases as expected. In the case over Mediterranean the
effects of local-scale interactions between flow and
orography and land–ocean contrasts are readily apparent.
However, there is a much larger, though not surprising,
increase in the spread for the Austrian event, which was
weakly forced by the large-scale flow. Though the ensemble
correlation skill score is still quite high (0.80). The
preliminary results illustrate both the promise and the
challenges that convection permitting modeling faces and
make a strong argument for an ensemble-based approach to
investigating high impact convective processes.},
