Abstract: Summary Two regional climate simulations are performed with a high-resolution limited area model for Central Europe, representing present-day climate conditions and a future climate change scenario according to a doubled global CO 2-concentration. Results of a global climate change simulation are used to initialize the regional model and to drive the simulations via time-dependent boundary values. The regional simulations show considerable changes in temperature and precipitation with noticeable geographical and seasonal modifications. For Germany, a significant warming of up to 4K emerges but the simulated tendency of decreasing summer rainfall cannot be approved as significant.
