Tests of a Perturbed Physics Ensemble Approach for Regional Climate Modeling

A 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...

Designing a model for analyzing the development of regional universities by using Interpretative-Structural Modeling Approach

Today, causal relationships between universities and regions indicate that if there is synergy between the university system and the regional system, both sides will benefit from the value added. The purpose of this study was to present a suitable and efficient model for analyzing the development of university-region relations. In this study, mixed-exploratory research design method was used. I...

The physics of climate modeling

Regional Climate Modeling: An Overview

Regional climate models are useful tools for regional climate research. They are especially helpful for studying the effects of topography, coastlines, and other complex landsurface properties on regional climate and for simulating these effects realistically. Although regional climate modeling started more than ten years ago, improvements in model physics and performance have been slow. There ...

Social Inequalities of Climate Change With a Regional and Global Approach

Climate change is a slow and long-term change that is different from other types of crises, and its effects will eventually cause the paralysis of society and the world economy. Considering the last climate change summit in Glasgow and the previous summit, according to the authors of this text, preventing and dealing with climate change in the present era will not be possible except with the co...
