TL;DR: A new version of the RegCM regional climate modeling system, RegCM4, has been recently developed and made available for public use as discussed by the authors, which includes new land surface, planetary boundary layer, and air-sea flux schemes, a mixed convection and tropical band configuration, modifications to the pre-existing radiative transfer and boundary layer schemes, and a full upgrade of the model code towards improved flexibility, portability, and user friendliness.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology for correcting climate model output to produce internally consistent fields that have the same statistical intensity distribution as the observations was proposed, referred to as a statistical bias correction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview on the current knowledge on snow, glacier, and permafrost processes, as well as their past, current, and future evolution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a new measure of hydroclimatic intensity (HY-INT), which integrates metrics of precipitation intensity and dry spell length, viewing the response of these two metrics to global warming as deeply interconnected.

TL;DR: The Med-CORDEX initiative aims at coordinating the Mediterranean climate modeling community towards the development of fully coupled regional climate simulations, improving all relevant components of the system, from atmosphere and ocean dynamics to land surface, hydrology and biogeochemical processes as discussed by the authors.
