Climate Change Quarterly : Fall 2016
Global mean temperature over 1998 to 2015 increased at a slower rate (0.1 K decade) compared with the ensemble mean (forced) warming rate projected by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) models (0.2 K decade). Here we investigate the prospects for this slower rate to persist for a decade or more. The slower rate could persist if the transient climate response is overestimated by CMI...
متن کاملImpacts of climate change on extreme precipitation events in arid (Bandar Abbas) and semi-arid (Shahrekord) stations in Iran
The aim of this paper is to project extreme precipitation events in an arid and a semiarid station. In order to project climate change based on general circulation models (GCMs), we have applied LARS-WG[1] downscaling tool. This stochastic weather generator down-scaled the climate of two synoptic stations using HADCM3 model and A2 emission scenario for 2040. We extracted extreme precipitation e...
متن کاملSimulation of the effect of global warming on the mean and extreme events of some hydrochemical variables in Shandiz catchment basin Case study: The Case of the general circulation model CanESM2
Changes in the mean and the extreme values of hydroclimatic variables are two prominent features of the future climate. Therefore, simulating the climatic behavior of Shandiz catchment area, an important tourist area in the northeast of the country, will play an important role in identifying the climate condition and potential vulnerability of these areas in the coming decades of climate ch...
متن کاملInvestigating the Trend of Changing Future Extreme Temperature of Iran by Using CMIP5 Data
The aim of this study is to investigate the trend of spatial and temporal changes in the future extreme temperature of Iran. The data used include daily data of minimum temperature and maximum temperature of CCSM4 model during the basic period of 1986-2005 and the future period of 2006-2050 under scenarios of 4.5 and 8.5 in Iran. The results of studying the trend of warm and cold extreme during...
متن کاملDrought impacts on ecosystem functions of the U.S. National Forests and Grasslands: Part II assessment results and management implications
The 781,000 km (193 million acre) United States National Forests and Grasslands system (NF) provides important ecosystem services such as clean water supply, timber production, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities to the American public. Quantifying the historical impacts of climate change and drought on ecosystem functions at the national scale is essential to develop sound forest ma...
