The Rossby Centre regional atmospheric climate model part II: application to the Arctic climate
Article Abstract:
The Rossby Centre regional climate model (RCA2) is integrated over the Arctic Ocean as part of the international Arctic Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project (2) (ARCMIP). The sea-ice processes, atmospheric stable boundary layers, ice-cloud processes and radiative transfer in a clean, cold and dry atmosphere particularly over the Arctic Ocean are all crucial to the model.

Simulated sea surface temperature and heat fluxes in different climates of the Baltic Sea
Article Abstract:
Numerical model experiments with a regional coupled ocean -atmosphere model driven by different global simulations are used to assess the physical state of the Baltic Sea in possible future climates. An overall heat budget is observed which reveals increased solar radiation to the sea-surface that is balanced by changes of the other heat flux components.
