  1. CORDEX Science Advisory Team: 1st Session 16-17 May 2014 ICTP, Trieste. Italy Climate Studies Group Mona The University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica

  2. Central America/ Caribbean Update

  3. CORDEX Central America domain Extends almost to the African coast Includes the North America monsoon core, but not northern extent. Does not include the Bolivian high Arritt (2012)

  4. Workshops First WCRP VAMOS/CORDEX Workshop on Latin America and the Caribbean (CORDEX LAC) Phase I – South America at Lima, Perú; September 11-13, 2013 WCRP VAMOS/CORDEX Workshop on Latin America and the Caribbean (CORDEX LAC) Phase II – The Caribbean in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; April 7-9, 2014 Sponsors: WCRP; ICSU-ROLAC; the Inter-American Institute on Global Change Research (IAI); Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (5Cs)

  5. CORDEX – ICCS3 WGRC Side Event at the International Conference on Climate Services 3; December 3, 2013; Jamaica Regional climate science and robust foundations for climate services – what does the CORDEX initiative have to offer climate service providers and users?

  6. Some Experiments

  7. Caribbean Climate Modelling Initiative Climate Studies Group Mona, Department of Physics, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. Institutode Meteorología de la República de Cuba, Habana, Cuba. Department of Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados. Department of Infrastructure, Antom de Kom University of Suriname Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, Belize Newer partners: Guadeloupe, University of the West Indies - Trinidad

  8. Collaboration Coordinated Science approach PRECIS – Caribbean Project

  9. Caribbean Climate Modelling Initiative Plans Experience in setting up experiments with PRECIS – ERA-Interim, A2, B2, Perturb Physics Experiments Plans are being finalized for the use of PRECIS, RegCM4 and/or WRF for CORDEX One run completed with WRF (ERA-Interim) Challenge: Storage of data generated

  10. CORDEX Central America domain • In past a number of other groups had plans for simulating the Central America / Caribbean domain: • State University of Ceará (A. Costa, RAMS) • UK Met Office (W. Moufouma-Okia, HadGEM3-RA) • CSIRO (J. Katzfey, CCAM) • SMHI (?) • Iowa State Univ (R. Arritt, RegCM4)
