Hydrological Processes in Regional Climate Model Simulations of the Central United States Flood of June–July 1993

Abstract

Thirteen regional climate model (RCM) simulations of June-July 1993 were compared with each other and observations. Water vapor conservation and precipitation characteristics in each RCM were examined for a 10 10 subregion of the upper Mississippi River basin, containing the region of maximum 60-day accumulated precipitation in all RCMs and station reports.
