RCA-GUESS
RCA-GUESS is one of the first regional Earth System models capable of simulating the interactions between a changing land surface and climate. It is built up of the regional atmospheric model RCA4 developed at SMHI and the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. It can simulate fluxes of carbon, water and energy in both natural and managed ecosystems. It has recently been updated with advanced land-use dynamics and management. RCA-GUESS has been applied in a broad range of CORDEX domains, ranging from South America, Africa, Europe and Arctic ecosystems.
Further information on the RCA-GUESS Model can be found in the RCA-GUESS Model description paper authored by Smith et al. (2011).
