Climate Change Impact on Precipitation Extreme Events in Uncertainty Situation; Passing from Global Scale to Regional Scale
Global warming and then climate change are important topics studied by researchers throughout the world in the recent decades. In these studies, climatic parameters changes are investigated. Considering large-scaled output of AOGCMs and low precision in computational cells, uncertainty analysis is one of the principles in doing hydrological studies. For this reason, it is tried that investigati...
متن کاملThreats from climate change to terrestrial vertebrate hotspots in Europe.
We identified hotspots of terrestrial vertebrate species diversity in Europe and adjacent islands. Moreover, we assessed the extent to which by the end of the 21(st) century such hotspots will be exposed to average monthly temperature and precipitation patterns which can be regarded as extreme if compared to the climate experienced during 1950-2000. In particular, we considered the entire Europ...
متن کاملRegional climate information: Can we provide skilful regional climate predictions at seasonal to decadal time scales and reliable and actionable long term regional climate change projections?
Many aspects of human societies, such as food production, water availability and management, health, energy production and consumption etc., depend critically on climate variability and change. While some countries have the resources and infrastructure necessary to respond to the variability of climate, others are more vulnerable, to the point that large climate anomalies and extremes can cause...
متن کاملA methodology for probabilistic predictions of regional climate change from perturbed physics ensembles.
A methodology is described for probabilistic predictions of future climate. This is based on a set of ensemble simulations of equilibrium and time-dependent changes, carried out by perturbing poorly constrained parameters controlling key physical and biogeochemical processes in the HadCM3 coupled ocean-atmosphere global climate model. These (ongoing) experiments allow quantification of the effe...
