The Practitioner’s Dilemma: How to Assess the Credibility of Downscaled Climate Projections
Suppose you are a city planner, regional water manager, or wildlife conservation specialist who is asked to include the potential impacts of climate variability and change in your risk management and planning efforts. What climate information would you use? The choice is often regional or local climate projections downscaled from global climate models (GCMs; also known as general circulation mo...
متن کاملClimate simulators and climate projections
We provide a statistical interpretation of current practice in climate modelling. This includes: definitions for weather and climate; clarifying the relationship between simulator output and simulator climate; distinguishing between a climate simulator and a statistical climate model; statistical interpretation of the ubiquitous practice of anomaly correction, and a substantial generalisation (...
متن کاملClimate change adaptation strategies for resource management and conservation planning.
Recent rapid changes in the Earth's climate have altered ecological systems around the globe. Global warming has been linked to changes in physiology, phenology, species distributions, interspecific interactions, and disturbance regimes. Projected future climate change will undoubtedly result in even more dramatic shifts in the states of many ecosystems. These shifts will provide one of the lar...
متن کاملUncertainty in Emissions Projections for Climate Models
Future global climate projections are subject to large uncertainties. Major sources of this uncertainty are projections of anthropogenic emissions. We evaluate the uncertainty in future anthropogenic emissions using a computable general equilibrium model of the world economy. Results are simulated through 2100 for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC...
متن کاملLocally Downscaled and Spatially Customizable Climate Data for Historical and Future Periods for North America
Large volumes of gridded climate data have become available in recent years including interpolated historical data from weather stations and future predictions from general circulation models. These datasets, however, are at various spatial resolutions that need to be converted to scales meaningful for applications such as climate change risk and impact assessments or sample-based ecological re...
