ETHZ,
Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science
The group Climate and Water Cycle led by Prof.
Christoph Schär, is concerned with atmospheric and hydrological
processes relevant to weather and climate on the scale of the
European continent and the Alps. The group maintains a regional
climate model, several atmospheric and hydrological models,
and a comprehensive data set of Alpine precipitation.

The Center for Integrated Regional Assessment
CIRA at the Pennsylvania State University was
founded in 1996 to facilitate interdisciplinary research and education
in the Human Dimensions of Global Change at the regional level
of study
The
ICTP - PHYSICS of WEATHER and CLIMATE Section
The Regional climate and climate change studies have two main
foci: 1) Use of RegCM for regional climate simulation over different
areas of interest; 2) Regional scale analysis of General Circulation
Model (GCM) performance and climate change simulations. In addition,
strategies are developed for coupling regional models of climate
system components, i.e. regional atmosphere, ocean/sea ice, chemistry
and land biosphere/hydrology, and applying such coupled models
to climate change studies.
The
Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington
The Climate Impacts Group was created in 1995
on the basis of a contract with the Office of Global Programs
(OGP) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
It is the first of the Regional Integrated Scientific Assessment
(RISA) Program's evaluations of the impacts of climate variability
and climate change on specific regions of the United States.
MEDIS,
Centre for Environmental Research
University of Münster
The Mediterranean region is one of the most sensitive areas in
the EU regarding sustainable water use. The availability of water
in sufficient quantities and adequate quality represents a significant
problem.
MEDIS aims to give assistance in solving these problems and find
solutions to this situation following a holistic, interdisciplinary
approach, involving a major team of scientists, experts and stakeholders
who know the Mediterranean problems and who partly live there.
ACIA,
Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
ACIA is an international project of the Arctic
Council and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC),
to evaluate and synthesize knowledge on climate variability, climate
change, and increased ultraviolet radiation and their consequences.
Regional Integrated Models at the PIK-Potsdam
The
UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP)
Set up by the Government in April 1997, UKCIP
aims to co-ordinate and integrate an assessment of the impacts
of climate change at a regional and national level that is led
by stakeholders.

The
SWECLIM regional climate modeling program
The aim of SWECLIM is to develop regional climate
models which can be used to project climate scenarios for Sweden
and the Nordic countries over a time period of 20-100 years in
the future.
