34 4 Abstract: Computing Grids are emerging as a new paradigm for sharing and aggregation of geographically distributed resources for solving large-scale compute and data intensive problems in science. Climate simulation is very time consuming and thus it's one of the important fields that can be addressed by Grids. The aim of this paper is to describe the implementation of the Regional Climate Model (RegCM4.3) in the Moroccan Computing Grid Infrastructure MaGrid and the tests performed using MPI parallel jobs. Also the computational efficiency of RegCM4.3 simulations on the Grid is assessed using different domain resolutions and CPUs number.
