“…As in previous versions of RegCM, the cold bias in air temperature in S_CTRL can be associated with the Grell convective scheme. As discussed in Giorgi et al (2004) and Martínez-Castro et al (2006), this scheme is very efficient in the vertical redistribution of heat and moisture, which results in cold/dry (warm/moist) conditions in the low (middle) troposphere. …”

“…7e), which use the Grell scheme over the continent, the underestimation of air temperature is a common feature in both. As discussed, the Grell convective scheme is very efficient in the vertical redistribution of heat and moisture, explaining in part its near-surface cold bias (Giorgi et al 2004, Martínez-Castro et al 2006. Considering all simulations in this study (Fig.…”

“…Although spin-ups of regional models vary in the range of 10 days to one month (Wang et. al, 2003;Martínez et al, 2006;Zhong et al, 2006;Kang et al, 2014) and even longer for climate scale simulation, one month is sufficient for a seasonal scale (five months) simulation to achieve dynamical equilibrium of the model internal physics and lateral boundary conditions, as mentioned in the earlier literature. It is reported in an earlier study by Anthes et al (1989) that regional models reach the equilibrium stage around 2-3 days.…”

“…Dash et al (2006) investigated the sensitivity of ISM on cumulus convection for a four-yr. period (1993)(1994)(1995)(1996) using RegCM3 and concluded that the Grell scheme (Grell, 1993;Grell et al, 1994) performed better. Martínez et al (2006) observed that the Grell scheme with Arakawa-Schubert closure is better in simulating summer precipitation in the Caribbean region using RegCM3. Venkata and Cox (2006) inferred that the Kain-Fritsch scheme (Kain, 1993) performed better than the Grell scheme in simulating monsoon depression using a mesoscale model (MM5).…”

“…Many of these studies use coarse-resolution general circulation models (GCMs) included in the fourth assessment report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to describe large-scale climatic changes in the region (e.g., Ángeles et al, 2007;Comarazamy and González, 2008;Biasutti et al, 2012). More recently, a handful of studies have used high-resolution regional climate models (RCMs) for studying climate change and its impact at spatial scales relevant for the islands (e.g., Castro et al, 2006;Centella et al, 2008;Campbell et al, 2010;Charlery and Nurse, 2010). In this study, we review what is now known about how the climate of the Caribbean has and will change under global warming, as can be gleaned from both available data and from existing literature.…”
