abstract

climate change impacts on precipitation and temperature world-wide are not yet well understood (especially for precipitation), due to their complexity and regional variability. in this study in order to explicit the impact of climate change on precipitation and temperature in iran, 15 aogcm whose greenhouse gases scenarios ran under a2, a1b and b1 were used. monthly precipitation and temperature data were calculated for 21 synoptic stations for two future periods (2016-2045 and 2070-2099) under all of three scenarios. result showed that increases in temperature during summer months are higher in comparison with the winter months for both future periods. all three emission scenarios predict same increase in temperature (approximately 1 to 1.5oc) for the first future period while a2 and b1 scenarios predict the highest and lowest increase in temperature over the period of 2070-2099, respectively. it is expected that mean temperature of iran increases about 3.5oc for the areas close to caspian sea and central regions and 4.5oc for other regions under the a2 critical scenario. it is also found that precipitation amounts will be increased in gilan province and also slightly in ardabil province under second future period while the precipitation amounts will be decreased in other regions. generally, it can be concluded that annual precipitation volume of iran will be decreased about 1.02 (0.25 percent) and 16.52 billion cubic meter (4.13 percent) for the first and second periods, respectively.

Uncertainty Investigation of Precipitation and Temperature Scenarios for the Sira Basin under Climate Change Impact

Results of assessment of the future climate change impacts is associated with some uncertainties. Considering the range of uncertainties increases reliability of the results. In this study, climate change impacts on daily precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature of Sira basin are assessed using LARS-WG model, for 2036-65 period. Accordingly, uncertainty of new emissions scenarios (RCP2.6،...

Climate change scenarios for temperature and precipitation in Aragón (Spain).

By applying a two-step statistical downscaling technique to four climate models under different future emission scenarios, we produced future projections of the daily precipitation and the maximum and minimum temperatures over the Spanish region of Aragón. The reliability of the downscaling technique was assessed by a verification process involving the comparison of the downscaled reanalysis da...

Regional precipitation and temperature scenarios for climate change

To investigate the consequences of climate change on the water budget in small catchments, it is necessary to know the change of local precipitation and temperature. General Circulation Models (GCM) cannot provide regional climate parameters yet, because of their coarse resolution and imprecise modelling of precipitation. Therefore downscaling of precipitation and temperature has to be carried ...

Comparison of LARS-WG and SDSM Downscaling Models for Prediction Temperature and Precipitation Changes under RCP Scenarios

Various methods developed to convert large-scale data to regional climatic data. In few studies , the results of these methods have been statistically compared. The main purpose of this study was to compare SDSM and LARS-WG models for Downscaling output data of CANE-SM2 and HADGEM2-ES general circulation models under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. For this study, precipitation, minimum an...

Projections of temperature-related excess mortality under climate change scenarios

Background Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods We collected observed daily time series of mean...
