EuroClim: A System for Enhanced Modelling of Climate Change in Europe by the use of Satellite Monitoring of the Cryosphere
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the potentially greatest threats to human beings is climate change. Climate scenario modelling indicates that our environmental conditions will change with increasing speed in the coming years with one of the most significant changes being a warming of the global climate. Europe is maybe the most sensitive region of the world and it is not known whether we will experience regional cooling or warming in a future warmer world in general. The EuroClim system, currently being developed a European consortium, will be an advanced tool for climate monitoring and scenario modeling for the support of a sustainable development and protection of the environment in Europe. The European cryosphere will be the main indicator system. Snow and ice variables are extracted from satellite data and processed by advanced algorithms. The cryospheric information is applied in a regional climate model producing enhanced climate scenarios. Statistical tools extract the information needed by the users, like extreme weather, changes in the length of the growing season, etc.

Euroclim: Monitoring the Cryosphere to Improve Climate Change Modelling
One of the potentially greatest threats to human beings is climate change. Climate scenario modelling indicates that our environmental conditions will change with increasing speed in the coming years with one of the most significant changes being a warming of the global climate. However, although there will be warming on the global scale there will be large regional variations in climate that w...
متن کاملA New System for Climate Change Monitoring in the Cryosphere
The EuroClim project has developed an advanced monitoring and modeling system for climate variables. The system observes cryospheric variables using satellites and in situ measurement stations and produces a portfolio of products based on these observations. The system also provides climate model products, from both historical runs and a scenario run. The climate modeling results are provided a...
متن کاملSimulation of climate change in Iran during 2071-2100 using PRECIS regional climate modelling system
Parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using PRECIS regionalclimate modeling system in Iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°C in latitude and longitude under SRESA2 and B2 scenarios. The dataset was based on HadAM3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. Theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...
متن کاملValidation of Volunteered Geographic Information Landuse Change Using Satellite Imagery
Land use change monitoring is one of the main concerns of managers and urban planners due to human activities and unbalanced physical development in urban areas. In this paper, a combination of remote sensing data and volunteered geographic information was used to assess the quality of volunteered geographic information on land use and land cover changes monitoring. For this purpose, the ORBVIE...
