             abstract = "The regional Eta WS (workstation) model with the horizontal 
                         resolution of 40 km has been integrated over South America for the 
                         period of 1981-1983. The model was forced at its lateral 
                         boundaries by an output of the HadAM3H model and was run on the 
                         supercomputer SX6. To be able to perform climate runs the original 
                         version of the weather forecasting Eta WS model was modified. 
                         There were made multiple changes and corrections such as a) 
                         preparing an interface that allows the Eta model to start from the 
                         HadAM3H output data and to use them later for the boundary 
                         conditions; b)modifications in the sst update program to use the 
                         sst data provided by the HadCM3 model; c) modifications needed to 
                         integrate the model for 360 days year; d) preparing the programs 
                         that permit to restart the model from any time moment using output 
                         binary files. The simulated monthly means of precipitation and 
                         near surface air temperature are compared with the GPCP and CRU 
                         observations. The parallel run of the Eta WS model forced at its 
                         lateral boundaries by NCEP/DOE Reanalysis II data aids in the 
                         identification of the sources of the errors. The consistency of 
                         the regional and AGCM models is analyzed as well as the ability of 
                         the regional model to resolve important features of climate fields 
                         on the finer scale than that resolved by the AGCM.",
