We describe the development of a non-hydrostatic version\nof the regional climate model RegCM4, called RegCM4-NH, for use at\nconvection-permitting resolutions. The non-hydrostatic dynamical core of the\nMesoscale Model MM5 is introduced in the RegCM4, with some modifications to\nincrease stability and applicability of the model to long-term climate\nsimulations. Newly available explicit microphysics schemes are also\ndescribed, and three case studies of intense convection events are carried\nout in order to illustrate the performance of the model. They are all run at a convection-permitting grid spacing of 3\u2009km over domains in northern\nCalifornia, Texas and the Lake Victoria region, without the use of\nparameterized cumulus convection. A substantial improvement is found in\nseveral aspects of the simulations compared to corresponding coarser-resolution (12\u2009km) runs completed with the hydrostatic version of the model\nemploying parameterized convection. RegCM4-NH is currently being used in\ndifferent projects for regional climate simulations at convection-permitting\nresolutions and is intended to be a resource for users of the RegCM\nmodeling system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/gmd-14-7705-2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,21]],"date-time":"2021-12-21T03:58:21Z","timestamp":1640059101000},"page":"7705-7723","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Non-Hydrostatic RegCM4 (RegCM4-NH): model description and case studies over multiple domains"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6944-5815","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika","family":"Coppola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7175-3294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Stocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3456-8799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emanuela","family":"Pichelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3704-5822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose Abraham","family":"Torres Alavez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1002-1628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Russell","family":"Glazer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Graziano","family":"Giuliani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Di Sante","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"Nogherotto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Giorgi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3145","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","unstructured":"Anthes, R.
