Abstract Regional Integrated Environment Modeling System Version 2.0 (RIEMS2.0) is now being developed by the Key Laboratory of Regional Climate—Environment for Temperate East Asia, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In order to test the sensitivity of the RIEMS2.0 model domain to simulate long—term climate and its change, and provide a basis for the further development and application of the model, the authors compared results between simulated and observed precipitation and surface—air—temperature using two model domains under different cumulus parameterization schemes. The model was driven by NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data with a simulation duration ranging from 1 January 1979 to 31 December 2007. There were no significant differences found in the spatial distributions of the simulated precipitation and surface—air—temperature, or interannual variations between the two model domains. There were, however, differences observed between the two model domain simulations of local sub—regions. The smaller model domain more accurately simulated precipitation, especially in summer (June, July, and August), and decreased the bias of surface—air—temperature, especially in winter (December, January, and February). The weak summer and winter monsoons simulated by the smaller model domain was a result of boundary forcings and may partially account for the improvements of this model.
