RCM simulations captured the basic seasonal dependence of the T ‐ P relationship over Europe. The simulated T ‐ P relationship pattern is more strongly influenced by an RCM than a driving GCM. The simulations of the CCLM4‐8‐17 RCM demonstrated noticeably better agreement with observed T ‐ P relationship fields than the RCA4 RCM simulations. The T ‐ P relationship simulated by RCA4 tends to shift to positive values in comparison to E‐OBS. These findings were found for both TPI and T ‐ P correlation.
