Recent observed and simulated changes in precipitation over Africa
Multiple observational data sets and atmosphere-only simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 are analyzed to characterize recent rainfall variability and trends over Africa focusing on 1983–2010. Data sets exhibiting spurious variability, linked in part to a reduction in rain gauge density, were identified. The remaining observations display coherent increases in annu...
متن کاملProjected changes of temperature and precipitation in Texas from downscaled global climate models
Climate change projections, in particular precipitation and temperature under different IPCC future emissions scenarios in Texas, were based on statistically downscaled multi-model ensembles. A comparison of downscaled model results with observations and reanalysis data for the present-day climate shows that all models simulate monthly variations in surface air temperature well (correlation coe...
متن کاملAttribution studies of observed land precipitation changes with nine coupled models
[1] Global-land mean observations of 20th century precipitation are compared to modelled values using an optimal regression technique for nine general circulation models. The combined influence of major anthropogenic and natural forcings is detected in five cases. Comparing the accuracy of precipitation and temperature simulation of each model, we find that low temperature simulation accuracy p...
متن کاملBromus Response to Climate and Projected Changes with Climate Change
A prominent goal of invasive plant management is to prevent or reduce the spread of invasive species into uninvaded landscapes and regions. Monitoring and control efforts often rely on scientific knowledge of suitable habitat for the invasive species. However, rising temperatures and altered precipitation projected with climate change are likely to shift the geographic range of that suitable ha...
متن کاملProjected changes in US rainfall erosivity
Downscaled rainfall projections from 21 climate models from the CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) archive are used to estimate future changes in rainfall erosivity in the continental Unites States. To estimate erosivity from rainfall in the absence of sub-hourly data, we have used both daily rainfall values and the modified Fournier index – which is based on monthly rainfall...
