Abstract: | The paper is based on recent climate simulations provided by the leading world climate centres and available through the Data
Distribution Centre of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Seven models have been considered. Three experiments:
control, and two integrations for different greenhouse gases emission scenarios have been analysed. Assessments have been
made for the European window defined as 5–40° E, 40–60° N. The paper presents some selected results for the air surface temperature
and precipitation. This is not a study on evaluation of models, detailed intercomparisons between models can be found in other
works (e.g., Barnett, 1999; Boer and Lambert, 2000; Lambert and Boer, 2001), as well as on Internet (e.g., a web-site of the
Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison1). The intention of the authors was to show examples of analyses made specifically for the Central European region. For the
reason of technical limitations of the paper only some results can be presented.
