Descriptive Analysis of the Global Climate System and Predictive Modeling for Uncertainty Reduction in Climate Projections using Complex Networks

چکیده
Introduction & Motivation As evidence in support of anthropogenic climate change continues to mount [1], the study of climate has become a focus of scientific research, political attention, and socioeconomic concern. There are many different aspects to studying climate, from the collection and analysis of historical/observed data to the understanding of current climate and its underlying physical processes and the development of models for the projection of future trends. And while considerable progress has been made in each of the areas, significant challenges still remain; for example, the Biological and Environmental Research Advisory Committee has identified the following Outstanding Grand Challenges in Climate Change Research to guide the U.S. Department of Energy strategic planning [2]:

Complex Networks as a Unified Framework for Descriptive Analysis and Predictive Modeling in Climate
The analysis of climate data has relied heavily on hypothesis-driven statistical methods, while projections of future climate are based primarily on physics-based computational models. However, in recent years a wealth of new datasets has become available. Therefore, we take a more data-centric approach and propose a unified framework for studying climate, with an aim towards characterizing obs...

متن کاملClimate 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...

Two major issues through studies on hydrological impact assessment of climate change are the sufficiency of historical data and selection of the best rainfall-runoff model. Climate models, with the ability to simulate climatic variables, are considered as references for future projections. Therefore, the rainfall-runoff model must be able to simulate streamflow using only these variables. Curre...
متن کاملHydrologic responses of watershed assessment to land cover and climate change using soil and water assessment tool model
Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...
