CMIP 5 model simulations of historical and projected climate extremes in the United States are assessed . CMIP 5 CLIMATE MODEL ANALYSES Climate Extremes in the United States
T his is the fourth in a series of BAMS articles on climate extremes in the United States (U.S.). These papers are based on workshops where leading scientists in the field came together to determine how best to assess the state of the science in understanding long-term climate variability and changes in various types of extreme events affecting the United States. The first workshop focused on s...
متن کاملEvaluation of the regional climate response in Australia to large-scale climate modes in the historical NARCliM simulations
Regional Climate Modelling (RCM) projects are designed to: improve the regional representation of climate obtained from Global Climate Models (GCM) and to provide addedvalue (Giorgi and Mearns 1991) at the regional scale to the climate change signal. Global models are run at coarse spatial resolutions and they do not properly represent regional/ local features such as: topography, coastlines an...
متن کاملVEMAP Phase 2 bioclimatic database. I. Gridded historical (20th century) climate for modeling ecosystem dynamics across the conterminous USA
Analysis and simulation of biospheric responses to historical forcing require surface climate data that capture those aspects of climate that control ecological processes, including key spatial gradients and modes of temporal variability. We developed a multivariate, gridded historical climate dataset for the conterminous USA as a common input database for the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and ...
متن کاملMethods and uncertainties in bioclimatic envelope modelling under climate change
Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using single-species bioclimatic ‘envelope’ models. Such models are a special case of species distribution models in which the current geographical distribution of species is related to climatic variables so to enable projections of distributions under future climate change scenarios. This work reviews a number of ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Ultra-High-Resolution Climate Simulations
Currently production climate simulations typically occur at rather coarse resolution, withO(100 km) separation between grid points. This choice of resolution is a direct result of limited computing resources. While 100 km resolution is sufficient to resolve global and large continental scale features and trends in the climate system, it is insufficient to resolve regional features. Encouraged b...
