Model Dev."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Abstract. Over the years, higher-resolution regional climate model\nsimulations have emerged owing to the large increase in computational\nresources. The 12\u2009km resolution from the Coordinated Regional Climate\nDownscaling Experiment for the European domain (EURO-CORDEX) is a reference,\nwhich includes a larger multi-model ensemble at a continental scale while\nspanning at least a 130-year period. These simulations are computationally\ndemanding but do not always reveal added value. In this study, a recently\ndeveloped regular gridded dataset and a new metric for added value\nquantification, the distribution added value (DAV), are used to assess the\nprecipitation of all available EURO-CORDEX hindcast (1989\u20132008) and\nhistorical (1971\u20132005) simulations. This approach enables a direct\ncomparison between the higher-resolution regional model runs against their\nforcing global model or ERA-Interim reanalysis with respect to their\nprobability density functions. This assessment is performed for the Iberian\nPeninsula. Overall, important gains are found for most cases, particularly\nin precipitation extremes. Most hindcast models reveal gains above 15\u2009%,\nnamely for wintertime, while for precipitation extremes values above 20\u2009%\nare reached for the summer and autumn. As for the historical models,\nalthough most pairs display gains, regional models forced by two general circulation models (GCMs) reveal\nlosses, sometimes around \u22125\u2009% or lower, for the entire year. However, the\nspatialization of the DAV is clear in terms of added value for\nprecipitation, particularly for precipitation extremes with gains well above\n100\u2009%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/gmd-15-2635-2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]],"date-time":"2022-04-01T03:34:55Z","timestamp":1648784095000},"page":"2635-2652","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Added value of EURO-CORDEX high-resolution downscaling over the Iberian Peninsula revisited \u2013 Part 1: Precipitation"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7489-5113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Ant\u00f3nio Martins","family":"Careto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9155-5874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Miguel Matos","family":"Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0259-6827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rita Margarida","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sixto","family":"Herrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"3145","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Azorin-Molina, C., Tijm, S., Ebert, E.
