abstract

in spite of considerable increase in the resolution of general circulation and regional models, none of these models are capable to predict and downscale the meteorological outputs in the scale of meteorological station.in this regard, different dynamical and statistical models have been developed for downscaling outputs of gcms. in this paper, grided meteorological outputs of general circulation models (echam4 and hadcm2) and 18 ipcc scenarios have been downscaled over iran for future periods by magicc-scengen model. each period is a 30-years period centered on a year. the range of periods is from 2000 (i.e., 1986-2015) to 2100 (i.e., 2086-2115). result of hadcm2 model shows a % 2.5 decrease in precipitation until 2100 but echam4 shows a %19.8 increase for this period. another difference between results of these 2 models is that hadcm2 predicts an increase in precipitation in next decades for mazandaran, golestan, khorasan shomali, khorasan razavi, semnan, tehran and some parts of guilan and ghazvin provinces, while echam4 predicts a decrease for those regions. hadcm2 predicts precipitation decrease for southeast of country (hormozgan, kerman, bushehr, south of fars and some parts of sistan and baloochestan), but in echam4 those regions will have precipitation increase in similar period. about temperature, both hadcm2 and echam4 agree in temperature increase in next decades for all provinces. these 2 models predict, on the average, 3 to 3.6ï°c increases in temperature until decade 2100. maximum increase in decadal temperature in echam4 and in 2100 decad is about 1ï°c more than hadcm2 and both of them are in conformity with each other in spatial distribution of decadal temperature.

forecasting and assessment of climate change over iran during future decades by using magicc-scengen model

abstract in this paper, we modeled the climate of iran for future periods. each period is a 30-years period centered on a year. the range of periods is from 2000 (i.e., 1986-2015) to 2100 (i.e., 2086-2115). this was made using 2 general circulation models (echam4 and hadcm2) and 18 ipcc scenarios. magicc-scengen was used as a tool for downscaling gcm low resolution output data. result of hadcm2...

Prediction of Climate Change in Western of Iran using Downscaling of HadCM3 Model under Different Scenarios

Abstract Considering that water resources are at risk from climate change, the study of temperature and precipitation changes in the coming years can lead to droughts such as droughts, sudden floods, high evaporation and environmental degradation. To this end, global climate models (GCMs) are designed to assess climate change. The outputs of these models have low spatial accuracy. In order ...

Prediction of Rainfall under HadCM3 and CanESM2 Climate Change Models using Statistical Downscaling Model (Case Study: Tabriz Synoptic Station)

Global climate change as a main factor affecting all ecological components, has been attended by researchers all over the world in the recent years. In this regard for simulating the rainfall, National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) data, HadCM3 data under A2 and B2 scenarios, CanESM2 data under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios were utilized. This research was performed by adopt...

Climate change scenarios generated by using GCM outputs and statistical downscaling in an arid region

Two statistical downscaling models, the non-homogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) and the Statistical Down–Scaling Model (SDSM) were used to generate future scenarios of both mean and extremes in the Tarim River basin,which were based on nine combined scenarios including three general circulation models (GCMs) (CSIRO30, ECHAM5,and GFDL21) predictor sets and three special report on emission sce...
