Projections of climate change impacts on coral reefs produced at the coarse resolution (~1°) of Global Climate Models (GCMs) have informed debate but have not helped target local management actions. Here, projections of the onset of annual coral bleaching conditions in the Caribbean under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 are produced using an ensemble of 33 Coupled Model Intercomp...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract Global Circulation Models (GCMs) are a major tool used for future projections of climate change using different emission scenarios. However, for assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change at the watershed and the regional scale, ...

Water resources managers must increasingly consider climate change implications of, whether the concern is floods, droughts, reservoir management, or reliably supplying consumers. Hydrologic and water quality modeling of future scenarios requires understanding global models (GCMs), emission downscaling GCM output, since GCMs generate predictions at a resolution too coarse for watershed modeling...

Abstract Investigation of the role multiple general circulation model (GCM) ensembles in obtaining comprehensive knowledge hydrological responses across Yellow River Basin (YRB), China, is still substantial importance. This study evaluates performance Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models simulating regime YRB and compares results with those from CMIP 5 (CMIP5). The compa...

Nowadays, one of the most significant problems is that to recognize how severity heavy precipitation and floods may alter in future time comparison with current period. The purpose this research understand impact climate change on storm water probability maximum flood for Zayandeh rud river basin Iran selected as a case study. Forecast climatic parameters based temperature upcoming period (2006...

increasing greenhouse gases in recent decades and increasing its resulting temperature has causes the imbalance of the earth’s climate system and widespread climate changes in most regions of earth planet. development strategic policy in this area has been forced with a big challenge because of the need for water in the central region on the one hand and water resource constraints on the other ...

The complex topography and high climatic variability of the North Western Mediterranean Basin (NWMB) require a detailed assessment of climate change projections at high resolution. ECHAM5/MPIOM global climate projections for mid-21st century and three different emission scenarios are downscaled at 10 km resolution over the NWMB, using the WRF-ARW regional model. High resolution improves the spa...
